Out of the mouths of babes
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
>>girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we CAN make
>>a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.
>>
>>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, 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
>>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 paycheck 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 sheetrock."
>>
>>Kind of brings a tear to the eye.
