Kinda Brings a Tear to your eyes......

fryer91 Posts: 441 Joined: 2003/09/29	2004/08/25, 03:16 PM Here's a heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little girl and some construction workers. This will make you believe that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of your time... A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew came in and began building a house on the empty lot. The family's 5-year-old daughter became interested in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers. Eventually, the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they took 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, the men presented her with a pay envelope which contained $2.00. 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 received to the bank to start a savings account. When they talked to the bank teller, she was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had earned her very own pay check at such a young age. The child 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?" The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fuckin' sheet rock ..." Kinda brings a tear to the eye...

She heard the train stop and her son yell "All you sons of bitches who want to get off, get the hell off now, because this is the last stop! All of you sons of bitches that are getting on, get your a$$es in the train cause were leaving". The mother went in and told her son, "we don't use that kind of language in this house." Now I want you to go into your room for two hours. When you come out, you can play with your train, but I don't want to hear any bad language. Two hours later, the son comes out of his room and continues playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard the son say, "All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your ride was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon. For those of you who are just boarding the train, we ask that you stow all of your hand luggage under the seat, remember there is no smoking except on the club car. We hope you have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today". "For those of you who are pissed off with the two hour delay , please see the b#$%h in the kitchen." -------------- Dont Expect Results, Earn Them! Lance

I didn't read anything derogatory about you or builders or fathers. What is wrong with people? -------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody

One of the waitresses (about 16 y/o at the time) asked me what all the guys were studying. I replied that it is an Engineering School so they all want to be Engineers when they graduate. She looked suprised and turned to me with the question "you mean all these guys want to drive trains when the graduate?" I about passed out from laughing so hard.

Then he said, "What contractor buys their drywall materials from Home Depot rather than a company that mass produces it?" Now, that remark I suppose could be more of a cut to contractors!! :) :laugh::laugh:
