A heartwarming story

[Psychoholic]

Here's a truly heartwarming 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 lunchbreaks, 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 work 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 a$$holes at Home Depot ever deliver the fukkin' sheet rock..."

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

Then there is the similar joke that goes back to my time...

A young boy asks if he can go watch the construction workers nearby, and his mother said that it would be OK as long as he didn't get in the way.

After a few hours, his mother asked if he learned anything, and he said, Yeah, I learned to say "Move it over a cunt hair!"

Mom was shocked, and told him to go get a switch. (This was before you got arrested for beating your kids' asses.)

The boy said, "Fuck you, that's the electrician's job."

Maybe it's better if you don't let the kids play with the construction workers.
