A young family moved into the house next door to a vacant section. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the section
The young family's 5 year old daughter naturally took an interest in the activity going on and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the construction crew, all of them pretty rough, 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 presented her with a pay envelope containing 5 dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested she take the money to the bank to start a savings account. When they got to the bank the teller was equally impressed with the story and how she had come by her own pay check at such a young age.
The little girl had proudly told her how she had worked all last week with the construction crew.
My goodness said the teller "and will you be working on the house again this week??
The little girl replied... "I will if those useless bastards at Bunnings ever bring us the fucking plasterboard.
What a good girl!!!
