A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day a
construction crew turned up to start building a house there. The young
family's 5-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, all of them rough
diamond types, 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 5 pounds. The little girl took this home to her mother who
said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they
take the money she had received to the bank the next day to start a
savings account.
When they got to the bank the clerk was equally impressed with the story
and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own wage packet
at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last
week with a crew building a house."
"My goodness gracious," said the clerk, "and will you be working on the
house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those useless c**ts at B & Q ever
bring us the f***ing plasterboard"
