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 4-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in
all the activity going on next door 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, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch
breaks, and gave her 20 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 flucking' sheet rock..."

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