Personal Narrative: How Much Spending Money Do You Need?
BOOK 5
“If I told the police what you just admitted, you would deny it, and we both know it,” Andrew said, knowing he needed to take care of this little, evil troublemaker. “How much spending money do you need?”
“Well, now, let me think about it for a minute, I want to be reasonable. With all the money, you make at the drug store. You could afford $800 a month to start. Remember, I know how much you make,” Nancy said and snickered.
“What do you mean to start?” He asked, knowing what she meant.
“From time to time, I’ll need a raise. The drug store gives you a raise. I should have one.”
“Why don’t we do this, it won’t be a problem giving you spending money each month to help you. First, I’ll call my wife and have her set an extra plate. After …show more content…
“Margaret, look at this,” he said, going into the kitchen. “That poor girl is missing.”

I told him, you were sleeping and the barking would wake you. Don’t worry; everything will be fine. Remember, we are the pillars of society around here.”
Sitting beside her on the sofa, he asked, “Are you alright?”

After a long day, Andrew arrived home tired, even though, Margaret had prepared a tasty dinner, he insisted on resting in his Lazy Boy chair before eating. The phone rang, answering the phone, Bill asked, “Andrew, are you busy?”
