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 6-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all
the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.
She hung around and eventually the construction crew, gems-in-the-rough all
of them, 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 dollar. The little girl took this home to her mother who
said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take
the
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 with
the
story 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 all last week with a crew
building a house." "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 useless sons of bitches at the
lumber yard ever bring us any drywall that's worth a shit. "
Thanks for all the great Jokes!
