Does this make sense?
Brother: Mom, she stole my color pencils.
Sister: I already asked him, Mom.
Brother: But I didn't allow you. And you just took it.

Does "But I didn't allow you" here make sense? What else sound more natural?

Thank you.

Answer

Brother: Mom, she stole my colouring pencils. 
Sister: I asked him, Mom.
Brother: But I didn't say you could. You just took them. 
.
Of course we write "Mum". :) and can spell colour :)

Answer

You asked but I did not let you take the pencils. You just took them.

Answer

"But I didn't want you to, and you just took them." This sounds more natural. "But I didn't allow you to" is grammatically correct, but it sounds wrong when coming from a child (in this case a child is speaking, I hope)
