The WNTS Digest

A young family move into a house next to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turns up to start building a house on the empty lot next to the young family. The young family's five year old daughter naturally takes an interest in all of the activities going on next door and spent much of each day interacting with the workers. Eventually the house builders, all who talked like well you know… house builders, made her part of the crew, giving her little errands to run and sitting with her through their coffee and lunch breaks and after one week presented her with a paycheck for ten bucks. The little girl took the check home to her mother and her mother said: Let's put this in a saving's account at the bank. 

So, off they go to the bank to deposit the check and when they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed at the little girl's fortitude, asking her: How did you get such a big check for your age?

The girl proudly responds: I worked with a real crew of house builders building the house next door to us.

The teller says: Oh my goodness, and will you be working on the new house this week too?

The little girl replied with resolve: I will if those assholes at the lumber store ever deliver the goddamn sheetrock on time!!

See you tomorrow!!
