Why won't they let you buy one? O.o

 

Guess just tell them how important it is to you?

Hello !

 

As your topic is dealing with the purchase of pony merchandise, I went ahead and moved your topic to the appropriate sub forum.

 

In the future please keep in mind the proper placement of your topics.

 

As for the topic at hand, not sure if there is much you can do in that regard. I mean you could tell us why they said no; if they said anything at all.

 

Thank you, and have a good day.

Is it your money? If not, just say you'll eventually pay them back for it and you really want it (begging sometimes helps)

 

If it has to do with the fact that it's pony, just say you found a different shirt (as long as they don't look at it) and say that you want that shirt instead (even though it's the Ditzy Doo one)

 

Mention that it's just a shirt and nothing big or outrageously expensive? You could always ask for it as a late Christmas present (if you celebrate Christmas, of course)

Yeah, tell them its just a shirt that you like...

 

or use the baby way

Well I dunno what your parents are like but me personally, I'd probably say the following.

 

"Mom.. Dad... I want this shirt. Yeah, it's a pony shirt. I don't care. I like ponies. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't like? No matter what you say or do I will like ponies. So, you might as well quit ye'r fussin' and let me buy this shirt. I'll pay for it with my money. As Arnold Schwarzenegger would say based on the movie where he gets pregnant and has to dress up as an old lady. My body, my choice. Or in this case, my wardrobe, my choice."

 

If that doesn't work buy it anyway. -shrugs-

As it's your money, you have every right to spend it on what you want. I don't understand why it's on their card though. If you're old enough you should set up a bank for your money to avoid this in the future. As your money's on their card I'd ask them if they could draw out the necessary cash so you can buy what you want. Technically, if it's your money they have no accuse not to do so.

 

If we're talking about online shopping and of course you need a card for that (unless you use paypal), you should ask them about opening up a bank account for you and transfer your money they have on their card to your new bank card. That's the best way to do it. It's not hard to open a new bank account. If you don't have one, I'd recommend talking to them about having one. You've got it for life then (unless you decide to switch banks in the future).

 

So best advice: If you've not got a bank account yet and you're young, ask your parents to open one up for you and have your money transferred to it. Simple and beneficial for both you and your parents and would avoid these issues in the future.

Show them the fight between Twilight and Tirek, then leave the room with a mic drop and "Ponies are epic, deal with it".
