This is truly a heartwarming story about the bond formed
between a little girl and some construction workers.
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction
crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's
6-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next
door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the
construction crew, gems-in-the-rough all of them, more or less adopted her as
a kind of project mascot.
They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they
had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here
and there to make her feel important. At the end of the
first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a dollar. The
girl took this home to her Mother who said all the appropriate
words of admiration and suggested that they take the
dollar pay she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank the teller was equally impressed with the story and
asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young
age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with a crew
building a house."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working
on the house again this week, too?" The little girl replied, "I will
if those useless sons of bitches at Home Depot ever bring us any fuckin' drywall
that's worth a shit!"
