The Mom: I'm not sure it's entirely healthy to me so enamored of a cardboard box like that, girly.
Allie: Enamored? Of a box that brings me delicious food and lovely diamond collars?
The Mom: About that collar.... Your allowance didn't cover the difference, I'm afraid.
Your account was overdrawn and the purchase denied.
Allie: Denied. DENIED?!?!
The Mom: Well, if you'd like to get a job to cover the monthly installments....
Allie: This girlcat doesn't do menial work, Mother.
Allie: I can see I'm going to have to take this over your head and speak to Father about it.
I'm sure I'll have no trouble getting him to see reason.
Good luck with that, girlie-girl!
