Aren’t grandparents the best? If this story made you smile, you’re in for a treat! You won’t believe how this grandpa takes care of his noisy three-year-old grandson – his clever approach will make you laugh out loud: In the supermarket, a woman follows a grandpa and his rather difficult 3-year-old grandson.
She sees that the grandpa has a lot in common with the child who asks for candy in the candy aisle, cookies in the cookie aisle, fruit, cereal and soda in other aisles. Meanwhile, the grandpa pushes forward and says in a calm voice, “Slow down, William, we’re not going to be here long.
Calm down, my boy.” After another tantrum, she hears the grandpa calmly say, “It’s OK, William, a few more minutes and we’ll be gone. Hang in there, boy.” At the checkout, the little screamer throws the goods out of the shopping cart and the grandpa tells him in a very calm voice: “William, William, calm down, buddy, don’t get worked up. We’ll be home in five minutes; stay calm, William.” Impressed, the woman goes outside where the grandpa loads the groceries and the little boy into the car.
She says to the older man: “It’s none of my business, but you were great at it. I don’t know how you did it. You kept calm the whole time and, even though he was loud and disruptive, you continued to talk to him in a calming way. William is very lucky to have you as a grandfather.” “Thank you,” said the grandpa, “but I’m William. The little boy’s name is Kevin.”
