A 5 year old's first job


Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a
little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you
believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of
our time.

A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a
construction crew began to build a house on the empty lot. The young
family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in the goings-on
and spent much of each day observing the workers.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them 'gems-in-the-rough,'
more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with
her during 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 ten dollars. The
little girl took this home to her ! mother who suggested that she take
her ten dollars 'pay' she'd received to the bank the next day to start a
savings account.

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally
impressed 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
last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door
to us.'

'Oh 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 assholes at Home Depot ever
deliver the fuckin' gyproc.'

Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?

Too funny and sadly too true, we had an order of over $5k in materials and they stopped the delivery because they didn't have a box of 100 screws Sometimes people just don't think!
