$8.00 for an allowance-LOL. I saw a episode today when THeo wanted to fly and Cliff told him it's going to be hard to pay for lessons especially when he only gets $8.00 for a WEEKLY ALLOWANCE???-LOL. So i guess it was $4 from Clair and $4 from Cliff. THeo had cheap parents-LIK

HA!! They did seem stingy with money...

This of course is based on assumption but I guess they didn't want to spoil the kids, if you give a kid a lot of money there going to be careless with it.

They could have given a round number amount-10/20/30

They probably did that so he would know what Cliff and Clair would not give him everything and he would have to work

yea, 8 dollars was pretty cheap, but 8 dollars then would probably be 10 now, or even more like 12. Still cheap for parents like that, but they asked for everything they wanted anyway, so what's the use for allowance. Remember, Cliff's name was "DadCanI?"
