> 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 a******s at Home Depot ever
> deliver the ******' sheet rock.'
>
> Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
