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've been working
with a crew building a house all week."

"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you
be working on the house again this week too?"

She replied, "I will if those useless sons of bitches
at the lumberyard ever bring us any drywall that's
worth a shit.
