Grandfather in the supermarket
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, Granddad 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 Granddad 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,” said the grandfather, “but I’m William …….the little
brat’s name is Kevin.”
