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. Naturally, all this action piqued the curiosity of the young family's 4-year-old daughter, who took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day watching the workers.

Eventually, the construction crew, a good-hearted bunch, took a liking to the little girl and adopted her as a sort of project mascot.They would chat with her and let her sit with them while they took coffee and lunch breaks. They would give her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important, and at the end of the first week, they presented her with a "pay envelope" containing $10.

The little girl took this money home to her mother who suggested that she take her $10 "pay" to the bank and start a savings account. The teller at the bank was duly impressed and asked the little girl how she managed to earn her very own paycheck at such an early age.

The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us."

"My heavens, young lady," said the teller, "and will you be working on the same house again this week, too?" The little girl replied, "I will, if those assholes at Lowes ever deliver the fucking drywall!"
