A Good Grandpa...........

A woman is in a grocery store and happens upon a grandpa
and his poorly behaving three-year-old grandson at every
turn. Its 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, "its 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 out side 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 brat's name is Stevie."
