Gimme Money
How do you ask for money? Especially when it’s for something relatively frivolous? Like a non-school related activity?
Reg just tells her mom that she needs money for something. Sylvie rarely asks what it’s for, unless it’s an obscene amount, like over a hundred bucks. But if she needs fifty bucks to go shopping or to the movies (when she treats me sometimes, thanks, Reg), she gets it. She has a credit card she’s allowed to use for gas and emergencies. Sylvie would probably rather see her use it to buy nice clothes like skirts and dresses and high heels but Reggie doesn’t care about any of that. She’ll go to Rag Top in Upland and buy used Levi’s and overalls and irregular t-shirts with the names of local sports teams and hardware stores. It’s almost like she does it just to piss Sylvie off. It’s a total waste, if you ask me. I mean, what I could do with a credit card at Abercrombie or Gap or Anthropologie. I would finally look awesome.
Anyway, I never ask Lucie for money because, well, she never has any. Every once in a while she’ll have some extra cash and we spend it on Starbucks or a month of movie rentals but it’s so unusual that I can’t ever count on it. Aaron hasn’t asked me to transcribe any of his shows lately either so it’s not like I have any money.
And what do I need it for? What non school related activity do I have to spend my money on?
T and his friends have invited me to go to Laser Quest in Chino. It’s laser tag, which normally would be completely lame and I would probably make fun of the people who play because it’s so…nerdy. But T is going and his family and his buddies and their girlfriends too. But it’s expensive. T said his parents would pay for food and get us there but I have to pay the admission.
And then in July they’re going on their annual trip to Raging Waters in San Dimas, which is a humongous water park made famous by Bill and Ted (a very old movie starring a very young Keanu Reeves, way before he was Neo). While I think that trip would be way more fun, I would have to wear a bathing suit which I am so not into so I’m debating whether to go or not. I can really only ask Lucie for money for one of them, not both and I have to decide which one.
There’s no guarantee she would say yes to either of them anyway.

If you don't ask, you don't get. You can always ask me.
