grandpa at the supermarket

Got a joke too good to keep to yourself? This is where to put it. While all the other Campfires are expected to be reasonably 'serious' in nature, this is where we let our hair down.

grandpa at the supermarket

#1 Post by terryzac » Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:38 am

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 softdrink in the other aisles.

Meanwhile, Granddad 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 cart, and Granddad 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," said the grandfather, "but I'm William. This
little bastard's name is Kevin."

Politics is a game played by dishonest people to gain an unfair advantage!

Never under estimate the strength of a cornered coward.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
