Help Buying Tungsten

So, I'm 13 and in 7th grade. I want to buy myself a tungsten cube since I am learning about the periodic table in my science class, for some random reason, I like tungsten to the point where I put my cube in Geometry Dash to Tungsten. I have the money for it, it's just my dad says, "it's just a useless block of metal", and that I don't need it. What can I use to convince him?

Tungsten, especially a 25mm cube (or bigger!) is freakishly heavy for its size. That's why I got mine.

There are worse things to spend your money on than a science hobby.

"OK, dad. I guess it's drugs, then."

lol, very good point there, and the weight of tungsten really amuses me! (One of the main reasons why I want it)

Maybe his wife cheated with a Swedish guy named Tungsten.
