A young family moved into the house next door to a vacant lot. 🍭🍬🍫❓

One day, a construction crew showed up to build a home on it.

Their 5-year-old daughter was fascinated and spent every day watching the crew work. Eventually, the rough-and-ready workers adopted her as a little mascot. They chatted with her, shared lunch breaks, and even gave her small jobs to make her feel included.

At the end of the week, they handed her a little pay envelope with a couple of dollars. Her mom was so proud and took her to the bank to start a savings account.

The teller, impressed, asked how she earned her paycheck.

The little girl said proudly, “I worked last week with the crew building the house next door.”

The teller smiled and asked, “Will you be working there again this week?”

She replied, “I will - if those lazy bastards at Home Depot ever deliver the fucking sand and cement.”

A former coworker's daughter got in a bit of trouble at school once. My coworker trained Germanshepards and taught her daught to use the proper words to identify the animals gender. In a conversation with a classmate she said something like, that's a bitch not a dog.....
