The Confessional

Ha ha. So heartwarming and cute.......

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5 year old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we
can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time...

A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot.
One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the
empty lot.

The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in
all the
activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the construction
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, 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 a couple of dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother
who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they
take the two dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and 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 the construction 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?"

The little girl replied, "I will if those ass holes at Home Depot ever deliver the freaking sheetrock...!!"

Kind of brings a tear to the eye.
