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 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.
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 an official payroll check! It was only $2, but
the little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the
two-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 and asked
the little girl how she had come by her very own paycheck at such a
young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with
the crew building the house next door to us.
"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 fucking sheet rock!"
