I'm not a person who likes to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. But one night, as I crossed our yard, I did. My wife was talking to our youngest child as she sat on the kitchen floor. So I stopped to listen outside the back door. It seems like he heard some kids boasting about their dad's work. That all the executives are great .....

then they asked Bob, our son, "Your father has a good career?" they began to ask.

Bob muttered slowly as he looked away, "He's just a worker." My good wife waited until they all left, then called in our son. She said, "Mama wants to talk to you, son" while kissing her dimpled cheeks. "You say, your father is just a laborer, and what you say is true.

But Mama doubts, do you know what that really means, so Mama will explain to you. "

"In all the industries that make our country great In all the stores and stalls and trucks that pull the cargo every day .... Every time you see a new house built, remember, my son.

It takes an ordinary worker to finish the big job! "" If all the bosses leave their desks and take a year off. The wheels of the industry can still run - spin fast.

If people like your father stop working, the industry can not walk. It needs an ordinary workman to finish the big job! "I swallowed my tears and cleared my throat as I entered the door.

The eyes of my little son sparkled happily as he leaped off the floor. He hugged me saying, "Hi, Pa, I'm proud to be Dad's son .... Because Papa is one of those special people who accomplished great work."

Touching story, but you should sand the old paint off before you apply the primer. Considering that is primer and not actual paint, which would be even worse.
