Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a
little four 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 showed 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 their 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 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 a 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 ****in' drywall..."

Kind of brings a tear to your eye.


Weak point of the post - a real constuction crew does not order
drywall from the Borg.

They most certainly do.

Of course they do.

No, they do not.

A bunch of jabronis with pickups, tools and jeans does not automatically
define a real construction crew.

What a maroon!


There is a Maroon 5. ^_^
