The ice cream cone

Monkey gets an allowance. He can spend it how he chooses. The intention is that he learns some responsibility with his money.
This week the ice cream truck came by and he wanted to get a cone. The BIGGEST cone they had. No problem bud, it is your money. He spent $4 and bought a MONSTER vanilla ice cream cone enrobed in chocolate. He loved it!!!

In the end he only ate about 2/3 of it before his belly started to hurt and the ice cream dripped everywhere. Daddy made quick work of the leftovers and Monkey was very pleased with his purchase....though does think he would get a smaller one next time!!

Tell Monkey to charge Daddy for his piece to offset the cost!

Monster Ice Cream cones: $4
That look of envy on your little brother's face: Priceless!

Allowances, for all that crap you can't get your parents to buy for you!
