Grandpa
A woman in a grocery store notices a
grandfather and his poorly behaving 3 year-old grandson.
It's obvious to her that Gramps has his
hands full with the child screaming for candy in the candy
aisle, cookies in the cookie aisle; same for fruit, cereal and
soda in their respective aisles.
Meanwhile, Gramps is working his way
around, saying in a controlled
voice "Easy, Albert, We won't be long --
easy, boy."
Another outburst, and she hears Gramps
calmly say, "It's okay, Albert, 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 again in a Controlled
voice says, "Albert, Albert, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll
be home in five minutes; stay cool, Albert."
Very impressed, the woman goes outside
where Gramps is loading his groceries and
the boy into the car. "You know, sir, 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. Albert is very Lucky to have you as his grandpa."
"Thanks, lady," said Gramps, but "I'm
Albert -- the little shit's name is Steve."Mr. B. D. Rurry,
