THE GRANDFATHER
A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his badly
behaved 3 year-old grandson..
It's obvious to her that he has his hands full with the child
Screaming for sweets in the sweet aisle, biscuits in the biscuit
Aisle; and for fruit, cereal and pop in the other aisles.
Meanwhile, Gramps is working his way around, saying in a controlled
Voice, "Easy, William, we won't be long . . . Easy,boy."
Another outburst, and she hears the granddad calmly say, "It's okay,
William, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang
In there, boy."
At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the
Cart, and Gramps says again in a controlled voice, "William,
William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five
Minutes; stay cool, William."
Very impressed, the woman goes outside where the grandfather is
Loading his groceries and the boy into the car.
She said to the elderly gentleman, "It's none of my business, but
You were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole
Time, you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive
He got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay William is
Very lucky to have you as his grandpa."
"Thanks, lady," said the grandfather, "but I'm William . ... . The
Little bastard's name is Steve."
