OFF THE WIRE
5 Year Old's First Job
> >
> > 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 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 assholes at Lowe's ever deliver
> > the damn sheet rock..."

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