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 as*!#!es
at Home Depot ever deliver the fu*#'ng sheet rock..."
