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 five-year-old daughter took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.
They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks and gave her little jobs 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 suggested that they take her "pay" to the bank. When they got to the bank, the teller asked the little girl how she had come by her very own paycheck at such a young age.
The little girl proudly replied: "I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller. "And will you be working on the house again this week, too?"
To which the little girl replied: "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the goddamn Sheetrock!"
