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 the activity going on next door
and started talking with the workers. She hung around and
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 5 dollars. The little girl took it home to
her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and
suggested that they take the 5 dollars 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've been working with a construction crew building a house."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be
working on the house again this week too?"
"I will if those worthless cocksuckers at the timber yard ever
bring us the fuckin' fibro we ordered," replied the little girl
