A young family moved into a house next
door to a vacant lot. A few months later,
a Construction crew turned up to start
building a house there.
The family’s five-year-old son naturally took an Interest in all the activity next door and started talking with the workers.
They were a bit rough around the edges and swore like sailors but they were good blokes and adopted the lad as
a site mascot.
They chatted with the kid. let him sit with them while they had coffee and lunch, and gave him little jobs to do here and there to make him feel important.
At the end of the first week they presented him with a pay envelope containing $10.
The boy was pleased as punch. He took this home to his mum. who suggested they take the money to the bank to start a
savings account.
When they got to the bank, the teller asked the little boy how he had come by the money.
The little fella proudly replied, “I worked all last week with a construction crew,
building a house.”
“My goodness,” the teller exclaimed, “Will you be working on the house this week, too?”
“Hopefully, I will be,” the little boy sighed, “if those useless cunts ever bring us the fuckin’ Gyprock!”
