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 assholes at

Home Depot ever deliver the f _ ckin' sheet rock.'

I found that to be slightly funny and expressed a stifled laugh of amusement. I also felt sorry for you because no one had answererd your joke and wanted to make you feel better.

lol Thanks!

Well you could at least thank me to increase the number of times I've been thanked.

Happy now?

Yes Im very happy now, Thank you !

I did read it. I thought the end was pretty funny. All in all it was good...

Response #2 then.

Oh you aren't supposed to encourage gillibean! Then that crazy woman will be more inclined to leave the kitchen. That would be sad

I'm out and you can't make me go back!!!!

Hey is that... could that be some needles and thread... and some cloth and even a sewing machine sitting in the kitchen???
