You want paragraphs from a rambler and I can't ask you to capitalize.
OK...fair enough. Life is short. Screw the capitals. I try not to sweat
the small stuff. Half the time I don't sweat the big stuff. I am too
old to do battle with windmills.....I save my evil side for the things
that matter. ;-) Wanna read a great story... Read on if your so
inclined. Remember I work in this field....this could happen to
anyone's child.
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 our 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 todo 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 *******s at HomeDepot ever
deliver
the ****in' sheet rock."
Kinda brings a tear to the eye...doesn't it?
