Re: A Touching Story: Ooops...Just noticed that I accidentally edited out, "I worked on a real construction crew last week that was building a house next door", the girl replied, after "at such a young age".

A Touching Story A young family moved into a house next to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's five year old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.
