How to talk your mom into saying yes (6 Steps)


Just ask. Many kids fret for weeks over a new possession, an activity or sleepover out of fear that mom will say 'No.' You may be getting yourself worked up for no reason whatsoever. If there is something you really want, just ask.
Earn it. If what you want involves money you may want to try earning all or part of the money. Ask your parents what you can do around the house to earn some extra money or help pay for what you want. You can also ask if you can earn they money by doing jobs for your neighbors. What you don’t want to do is to neglect your previously assigned chores in your effort to earn money.
Prove yourself. If the thing you want is a pet you may need to first prove to your parents that you are ready for the responsibility that comes along with the animal. You can prove you are ready for a dog by taking care of a fish, or walking and feeding a neighbors dog while they are on vacation. You may first ask your mother if you can pet sit for a relative for a few days.
Be transparent. If you want to go to a party, and your parents are saying 'No' you need to give your parents all of the details of the party to prove that it is safe. This might mean introducing your parents to the chaperones. This might mean giving your parents the itinerary for the party so they know what you will be doing and when. This may even mean letting your parents drop you off and staying for a while (even if it means sitting in the car) until they are comfortable that you will be safe. If there are details about a party that you don’t want your parents to know about, chances are they have a good reason to say 'No.'
Bargain with her. Your mother may give in and buy you that purse, or let you go to that concert if you do something for her. Help with housework to make her life easier and she will be glad to buy items for you. Baby-sit your younger sibling so she can go out, and she will have no problem with sending you to a concert.
Pick your battles. Don’t constantly bombard your mother with requests. If you do, her resolve to say 'No' will become even stronger. If you can say to her, 'I seldom ask for anything, but this is really important to me,' you may have a stronger case.

How to Catch Money in a Money Blowing Machine


Ask for the rules, but do not offer any suggestions. For example, don't ask, 'May I use both hands?' This will give them the opportunity to say, 'No.' Simply ask for the rules, and if they do not mention that you cannot use both hands, then it is allowed.
If you have time to prepare beforehand, apply hairspray to your hands and allow them to dry. This will make them slightly sticky, which will make snatching dollars from the air a bit easier. It also might be construed as blatant cheating — which it is — so keep this to yourself.
Target one bill at a time. You will be tempted to make a mad grab for every bill in the entire money-blowing chamber, but this will only make catching the bills harder.
Use both hands, if you are allowed. Spread your fingers wide for maximum money grabbing potential and also to allow air to pass through your fingers without pushing away the bills. Keep your hands about a foot apart in front of your face ready to clap a bill between them. Focus on one bill, then clap as fast as you can to capture a bill.
If you are only allowed to catch bills with one hand, make sure to spread your fingers wide for maximum coverage. Use your hands in concert, thrusting them together into masses of dollar bills. Focus on one bill at a time. Keep snatching constantly until you get a bill. Another good one-handed technique is to slam your hands into your body to trap bills or slam them against the walls of the chamber. (Just make sure this is not against the rules, or you will be disqualified.)
Stuff the bills into your pockets or whatever pouch the operators have given you immediately before focusing on another bill to snatch. Remember, you will only be allowed to keep the bills you have stuffed into the provided container, so don't hold onto bills too long. The quicker you can empty your hands, the faster you can snatch more bills.
Scoop dollars from the ground. Most operators will tell you beforehand that you must snatch bills in flight, but if they have not specified this from the beginning, look down and see if there are clusters of bills at your feet. If you are not allowed to scoop these bills with your hands, then kick and shuffle your feet to scatter them into the air so that you may snatch them.
Scoop dollars from the ceiling. The hardest place to snatch bills is while they are rising or falling, but once they hit the ceiling, they hover for just a moment before falling back down. Sometimes the best place to find and focus on easy-to-catch bills is directly over your head.
Money-blowing machine operators will force you to wear 'safety glasses' that are meant more to hinder your peripheral vision than to protect it, so make sure you swivel your head around to get the best view of the flying bills. Don't focus only on the bills in front of you.
Keep in constant pursuit of flying bills. Don't allow yourself to celebrate your victories or mourn your misses. Continue to snatch and grab until the operator makes you stop.
