You quite enjoy the word s***, don't you?
I have a job, as well, even though I'm not technically old enough to hold one. And you get way overpaid. I pay for half of MY clothes, some of my food, and pretty much anything extra I want. And I'm fourteen, which makes it a lot more impressive than yours. Of course, we all know that you aren't really almost eighteen.
But, anyway, about the overpaying? You FILL UP HIS FREEZER. I take care of an infant. Which one actually takes skill?
Oh, yes! Filling up the freezer. Of course. Because you need to take an eight hour class on how to fill up a cooler.
WHOOPS. No, you have to take an eight-hour class about taking care of kids. Do you need to know CPR to fill up a cooler? The Heimlich maneuver? Changing/feeding/holding techniques? No.
Oh, right, my sister worked at Bruster's; making icecream (oh, yes, it's homemade), opening and closing shop, managing a cash register AND scooping icecream. She EVENTUALLY got 8.75 an hour. And she did real work.
