Patience in Shopping 🍯🍮🍭❕

The child screamed for sweets, biscuits, and other treats. Despite the child’s outbursts, the grandfather remained calm and composed, saying, “Easy, William, we won’t be long now… easy, boy.”

After another outburst, the grandfather calmly said, “It’s okay William, just a couple more minutes and we’ll be out of here. Hang in there boy.” At the checkout, the child threw items out of the cart. The grandfather again spoke calmly, “William, William, relax buddy, don’t get upset. We will be home in five minutes, stay cool William.”

After witnessing this, a woman approached the grandfather and complimented him on his patience. “William is very lucky to have you as his grandpa.” The old man looked startled for a second, then turned and said, “Oh, no, my name is William, this little brat is Kevin.”
