Humor aWoman Is in a Grocery Store and Happens Upon a Grandpa and His

[colegrovet]

A woman is in a grocery store and happens upon a grandpa and his poorly behaving 3 year-old grandson at every turn. It's obvious Gramps has his hands full with the kid screaming for candy in the candy aisle, cookies in the cookie aisle; same for fruit, cereal and soda.

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 outta here -- hang in there.'


At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart, and Gramps again in a controlled voice is saying, '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 for his grandpa.'

'Thanks, lady,' said Gramps, 'But I'm Albert -- the little bas**rd's name is Stevie.'

Re: Grampa....I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This totally would have been something my grandpa would have done. Us kids were a handful for him. He rarely let me grandma get too far from us. The reason for my questionable laugh or cry is because I have been an emotional wreck the last 2 days, and when I get this way, my grandpa is the only thing I can think about. He passed about 2.5 years ago, and what would have been his 73 birthday is fast approaching. Thank you for the smalll chuckle, and the memories of grandpa that came running through my head.
