This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a
group of building workers. It's allegedly true and might help to confirm
your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human
race....................
A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a
gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot.
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 builders, all with hearts of gold,
more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They
chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch
breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel
important.
They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled
her immensely.
At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a
pay envelope - containing two dollars in 10c coins. The little girl took
her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the
bank the next day to open a savings account.
At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little
girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she
had a 'pay packet'.
'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and
Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.'
'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'And will you be working on the
house again next week?'
The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:
'I think so. Provided those f*#king wankers at Boral deliver the f*#king
Concrete on time.'

Re: 5 year old girl.....
True story - my three year old girl came out of the dunny yesterday and said "daddy, I found a spider in the toilet. I saved it."
I said: "I put the spider in there, I thought it was dead."
She said" "Did you squish it."
I said: "Yes."
She said: "No no, daddy, every animal must be. Why did you try to kill it?"
I said: "Well, if I left it in the house it might bite someone."
With that, she gave me a dirty look and walked off.
I reckon I should hide away all the Fishing and Outdoors mags now
Although she said last week that she likes eating piggies (bacon) ...
Other daughter would have a different opinion, she had a dirty great black house spider crawling on her in bed last week, I reckon they heard her scream down the other end of the valley ...
Youngest pulled a tick out of her chest last week and proudly showed me the bite hole, she doesn't seem fazed by bities.
Wife found a scorpion in the bed last summer, at least in the NT all the bad stuff is in the river

Re: 5 year old girl.....
Hi there,
My five year old, told me last week:
"Daddy, get the cat inside, she has alzheimer"...
And I swear that I have absolutely no clues of where she got that from...
I can't remember anyone talking about alzheimer around me...
Have a good day,
Pecheur
