A man noticed a woman in the grocery store with a
three-year-old girl in her cart.
As they passed the cookie section, the little
girl asked for cookies and her mother told her no.
The little girl immediately began to have a
conniption, and the mother said quietly, "Now Missy,
we just have half of the aisles left to go through
- don't be upset. It won't be long."
In the candy aisle, the little girl began to shout
for treats.
When mom said she couldn't have any, she began to
kick her mother and scream. The mother said softly,
"There, there, Missy, don't cry - only two more
aisles to go and then we'll be checking out."
When they got to the checkout stand, the little
brat immediately began to reach for the gum and
freaked out when her mom said she couldn't have any.
The mother patiently said, "Missy, we'll be through
this checkout stand in five minutes and then you
can go home and have a bottle and a nice snooze."
The man followed them out to the parking lot and
stopped the woman to compliment her. "I couldn't
help noticing how patient you were with little
Missy," he said.
The mother sighed and replied, "Oh, no, my
little girl's name is Francine - I'm Missy." |
