> screaming for sweets, biscuits, and all sorts of things.

>
> The grandfather is saying in a controlled voice: "Easy, William, we
> won't be long". Another outburst and she hears the grandfather calmly say,
>
>
> "It's okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of
> here. Hang in there”.
>
> At the checkout the little horror is throwing items out of the cart.
> Grandfather says again in a controlled voice,
>
> "William, relax buddy, don't get upset.
> We'll be home in five minutes, stay cool William."
>
> Very impressed, the woman goes outside to where the grandfather is loading
> his groceries and the boy into the car.
>
> She says, "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 that things
> would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his grandfather."
>
> "Thanks," says the grandfather, "but I am William,
>
> this little arsehole's name is Timmy".
