A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot.
One day, a Construction crew turned up to start building a
house on the empty lot.
The young family's 5 year old daughter naturally took
an interest in all the
activity going on next door and spent much of each day
observing the workers work and listening to them talk.
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, 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 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 dam' sheet rock."
