One day, a construction crew showed up to build a home on it.
Their 5-year-old daughter was fascinated and spent every day watching the crew work. Eventually, the rough-and-ready workers adopted her as a little mascot. They chatted with her, shared lunch breaks, and even gave her small jobs to make her feel included.
At the end of the week, they handed her a little pay envelope with a couple of dollars. Her mom was so proud and took her to the bank to start a savings account.
The teller, impressed, asked how she earned her paycheck.
The little girl said proudly, I worked last week with the crew building the house next door.
The teller smiled and asked, Will you be working there again this week?
She replied, I will - if those lazy bastards at Home Depot ever deliver the fucking sand and cement.
