i lied abt my allowance money

so i did this thing today that im not super proud of but kinda am because it worked out. so last week i got like 15 bucks for allowance and thought maybe if i stretched it i could buy a few comics at the store on friday after school. so i saved up all week, counted it over and over. finally friday came and yeah there was just enough to get one comic book. but as soon as i walked out with my new treasure, i knew what i was gonna do. saw this kiosk in the mall selling these cool bracelets with those little trinkets that change color when u put them under a light or heat em up. and like duh i wanted one so bad, but no way was there enough left to get it. so here comes the lie part. on my ride home, i kept counting my money in my pocket. then i said to myself, what if i just add that extra quarter from under my pillow. you know the one? The emergency one for when mom says i need toilet paper or something real quick? i did it. i felt so sneaky as i put it with my allowance and headed home. when we had dinner and i sat at the table, mom asked me about what comic book i got and everything sounded normal right up til she was like “you know you can’t add extra money to your savings jar.” i froze for a second but then just said yeah i remember that rule perfectly well, no sneaking in extra. so i walked off kinda smug thinking how clever i am. except later when i went to empty my piggy bank again, the quarter was still there exactly where it had been since like january! mom didn’t check at all. the worst part is if she had checked then that comic book would have gone right back and we both know i’d be crying about it for days. so while i feel bad i took extra money, honestly the sneaky way worked out fine this time. maybe next week ill just put a little more in my jar to start with.
