Stranger Shocked By Grandpa's Reaction To Spoiled Brat

Oct 17, 2017

The world would probably be a better place if everyone would laugh a bit more often. It's said that laughter helps promote good health and a long life. You should look for humor in the world wherever it may be, and there are many great sources.

Relationships between children and their caregivers are one area that's ripe for the picking when it comes to comedy. Children are often the direct source of the entertainment, but that doesn't always have to be the case. Take, for instance, this story of a grandfather and his grandson in a grocery store.

The topic of the story is one that many are familiar with. Children can sometimes be difficult or throw tantrums in public when they don't get what they want, and adults usually have no choice but to deal with it in some way. This grandpa had a particularly interesting way of dealing with the child. When you realize his method, you'll probably laugh at his tenacity.

The story is told from the perspective of a woman who is in the supermarket with the grandfather and his young grandson.

The child is clearly only a few years old, and the woman finds it painfully obvious that the grandpa has his hands completely full with the spoiled brat. In every aisle, the child loudly screams for something that he wants, whether it's cookies, candies, or soda.

However, grandpa doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the cries of the young lad. Instead, he continuously whispers in a controlled and calm voice, seemingly attempting to calm the boy down. He says, "Easy, William, we're almost done here."
 

The woman continues to follow the grandpa and his loud grandson. The child once again starts screaming, but grandpa merely continues on with his whispers to William that the pair is almost finished shopping. He continuously assures William that everything will be fine once they've left the store.

When the pair approaches the checkout line, the woman gets in line behind them. She witnesses the horrible child continue his tantrum by tossing items from his grandpa's cart. Grandpa, still keeping his cool, continues to try to coax William into being calm. He assures William that they'll be home in just a few minutes.

After the woman pays for her groceries, she follows the grandpa out to his car. She was impressed with the way he handled the child, and she wanted to express her admiration. She professed that she had her own issues with dealing with children, and she continued to say that she was proud that he was able to keep his composure regardless of how unruly his grandchild behaved. She finished by saying that William was quite lucky to have him as a grandpa.

The grandfather thanked the woman for her kindness, but he then clarified that he was actually William. His grandson's name was Kevin!
