Have to love this one!






A woman was following a grandfather, in the
supermarket, with his badly-behaved 3-year-old grandson. It was obvious to
her that he really had his hands full. The child was screaming for sweets in
the candy aisle, and for fruit, cereal and soda in the other aisles.

Meanwhile, Gramps was working his way around,
saying, in a very controlled voice, "Easy, William. We won't be long. Easy
boy." Another outburst, and she heard the grand-dad calmly saying, "It's
okay, William. Just a couple of more minutes, and we'll be out of here. Hang
in there, boy."

At the checkout counter, the little terror was now
throwing items out of the cart. Gramps said again, in a continuing
controlled voice, "William, William. Relax, buddy. Don't get upset, now.
We'll be home in five-minutes. Just, stay cool, William."

Very impressed, the woman went outside, where the
grandfather was loading both his groceries, and the obnoxious little cuss,
into the car.

She said to the calm elderly gentleman, "It's really
none of my business, but, you were simply amazing, in there. I just don't
know how you actually did it. That whole time, you simply kept your
composure and, no matter how loud and disruptive he eventually got, you just
calmly kept saying that things would soon be okay. William is so very lucky,
to have you as his grand-father."

"Thanks, lady," said the grand-father. "However, I'm
actually William. This little b at st@rd's name is Steven."
