5 year olds first job

5 year old's first job


Here's
a truly heart warming 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 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 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 ass holes at Home Depot ever deliver the f****n' drywall..."



Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
