For Sober Mc - Patience! (since it's quiet)
Permalink  
 


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 pop in the other aisle. 


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 .... the little bast*rd's name is Kevin."

Pappy LOL,

I heard a guy say; I'm so impatient,  immediate gratification isn't quick enough for me...

What's even better is to have someone come up and say the joke was so good they shared it at another meeting! It's getting a lot of mileage around here!

Glad I could light the fuse of laughter ... I believe strongly in the healing power of it ... and if we're not healed by it, then we certainly forget our problems for a minute or two ...

 

May these jokes be the 'kick in the *ss' we need to enjoy life for once ... without the need to drown ourselves in booze!!!
