Cool Grandpa

This one is dedicated to all dedicated (and otherwise) grandfathers !

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
trolley,  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 . .. . this
little bastard's name is Kevin."
