Subject: Fw: The Good Grandpa 



This was so cute, I had to pass it along.

>The  Good Grandpa
>
>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 bastard's name 
>is  Stevie.'
