A young family moved into a house next to a vacant lot.
One day a construction crew began building a house on the empty lot.
The family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in the goings-on, and spent much of each day observing the workers.
Eventually the construction crew, all of them 'gems-in-the-rough,' adopted her as a kind of project mascot.
They chatted to her during their breaks and gave her little jobs to do 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 and her mother went to the bank to open her first savings account.
The teller was very impressed when told how the little girl had come by her first pay check at such a young age.
'Oh my goodness gracious,' said the teller, 'and will you be working on the house again next week?'
'Sure,' said the little girl, 'if those assholes down at the fuckin' hardware store deliver the goddamn dry-walling on time.'
