A 4 year-old's first paycheck Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 4-year-old girl & 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, & 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 10 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 & 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 assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fucking drywall." | ||

Several years ago I took my son,his wife,+ granddaughter to a mexican restaurant. The waitress was terrible. Finally brought food but no silverware.My son told my granddaughter (who was only 3 + could'nt speak that well)to holler at the waitress for a fork + a spoon. So she yells out so the whole restaurant could hear,"I WANT A FOOKIN SPOON!" Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Little boy hangs out on the jobsite for days on end.Family asks him at supper what he had learned.He grabs a string(chalk line),gives one end to another family member + stretches it out along the floor while giving derections,just a little to the right,no just a little to the left,aw hell,move it just a red cunt hair to the left. Mom say's "WHAT DID YOU SAY? He says aw hell just strike the line,good enough for the sonuva bitch thats gonna live here.Mom says to get her a switch;Hell no you want a switch,get it youself,I'm not an electrician. Never mistake motion for action. | |||
