This story will really pull at your heart strings. It's a truly
heart-warming story about the bond formed between a little girl and some
construction workers that makes you believe that there is still hope for
the younger generation...

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 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 a couple of dollars.

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 pay check 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 "
