"Man! It's boiling!" "Yes, I noticed." "How come we don't buy a house by a lake, where it's cool?" "We're not rich; that's how come." "A pool! Can we build a pool?" "A pool would cost me a year's salary!" "How 'bout we spring for an air conditioner?" "Spend all tha tmoney on something we ony use for a few weeks each year?" "Can we at least get one lousy fan?" "All a fan does is blow hot air around." "Well, then...can I just have an ice cream cone?" "An ice cream cone?" "Yes, Nate. Yes, you can have an ice-cream cone." "That'll only buy me a medium. Can I have enough for a large?" "You got greedy." "I got greedy."

so wait, how the heck does he sleep in that heat if there’s no air conditioner or fan?

well nowadays, an average inground pool costs around 25,000, including average water bills for a year, so it’s safe to assume Nate’s dad is part of the working class

If nate can scrap enough money, an above ground medium size pool would cost him around 500$

honestly if i was nates dad i would just drop the money and buy the damn air conditioner, i mean yeah its something you would only use a few weeks a year, but at least then you would HAVE it and be able to use it every year, seems like it would be worth it to be a little tight on money for a month or so if it meant you would literally never have to worry about suffering every year ever again
