The Caring Grandfather

Postby gray_marian » Tue Apr 30, 2013 12:39 pm

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 till, the little terror is throwing items out of the trolley, and Granddad says again in a controlled voice, "William, William,
relax bud, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, William."
So impressed, the woman goes outside where the Grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car.
She says to the elderly gentleman, "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you do it. The whole time, you
kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive the child got, you just calmly kept saying that things would be okay.

William is very lucky to have you as his Grandpa."
"Thanks," said the old chap, "but I'm William . . . the little bas***d's name is Kevin."
