Mouth of Babes

Truly a heart warming story about the bond formed
between a little girl and some construction workers.
This makes you want to believe in the goodness of
people and believe there is hope for the human race.

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 family's
6-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all
the activity going on next door, and started talking
with the workers.

She hung around and eventually the construction crew,
gems-in-the-rough, all of them, 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 dollar. The little girl
took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate
words of admiration and suggested that they take the
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 with the story 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've been working with
a crew building a house all week."

"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you
be working on the house again this week too?"

She replied, "I will if those useless sons of bitches at
the lumber yard ever bring us any drywall that's worth
a shit."
