FIRST JOB
"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 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 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
as*!#!es at Home Depot ever deliver the fu*#'ng sheet rock..."
