      Ah, words from the mouth of babes...

      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
      observin g
      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 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 t o 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 c o c k suckers at Home Depot
      ever deliver the f u c kin' sheet rock..."

      Stories like this just bring a tear to your eye. Hmel '742007-11-02 06:42:14
