A young family with a 5 year old girl 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 5 year old 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 little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with an envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her “pay” to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When the girl and her mom got to the bank the teller 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,” said the teller, “and will you be working on the house again this week too?”
The little girl replied, “I will if those fuckers at Lowe’s ever deliver the goddamn sheet rock!”
