Okay so like, ever since I was 11 I was in love with mermaids, so much that I would do research about how much tails would be. Recently I swam in my friend’s tail for the first time and absolutely loved it! The tail at most is 95 ish and with fast shipping it’s 103 ish. Which I’m perfectly okay with. So I ask family “what can I do to get this” and they tell me ‘get a job, work, etc’ so me being me I look for good paying jobs good for extreme general and social anxiety, nothing near my area so I go the the next option, scrapping copper from AC Units. Now, copper is 2.20 a lb so if I were to try and pay for my tail I’d need like 48 lbs of copper. And with a bucket I could reach that. So I scrap some copper on a nice Monday evening in the scorching NJ “feels like: 112 degrees”

About a few hours in I start to feel dizzy, it’s 4 maybe 5 at this time and my dad tells me to “go the f*** inside if I’m going to be a baby about the heat and fake me getting dizzy” but for my own health I went inside. I find out that my bucket was only 9 lbs (I made 20$) because my father went out and scrapped my bucket without telling me he was going to do so. And gave me 10$ out of my bucket and kept the other 10 PLUS the money he got for the dirty copper which I politely asked if I could have some dirty copper (which he yelled at me for). Is working out in the heat for at least 6 hours only to get 10$, because my father took the rest, fair?
