Out of the mouths of babes!

  4 Year Old?s first job.......


Here's  a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little  4-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 4-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 20 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 a$$holes at Home Depot ever deliver the f- &*%#uckin' drywall..."

Ain't it heart warming??.. ;D

Buckaroo Banzai: "Tell him yes on one and no on two."

Mission Control: "Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia... or number 2?"
