Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
5-year-old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe
that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.

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 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 g ave 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 couple of dollars.

The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two
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 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 the crew
building the house next door to us."

"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 fucking sheetrock..."

Kind of brings a tear to the eye.

"If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten!"
