What excuses did you use when you asked your parents for money?

In the name of buying a notebook or pen, you often quote one yuan and fifty cents more, and use the extra money to buy your favorite toys or food. In short, when I was a child, I would go to my parents to cheat money for various reasons in order to satisfy my little desires. I remember the price was very cheap. A few cents of bubble gum and a dime of dried fruit can last for many days. Because when I was a child, except for the lucky money of one or two yuan given by my parents, all other money had to be handed in, and my parents would not give us any pocket money. So I can only find various excuses to ask my parents for money. At that time, it was not easy to think about parents, so we should carefully maintain the basic life of a family. What about parents who have never cared about their children?
