A man was out shopping in the grocery store one day when he noticed a woman with a cute little three-year-old girl perched in her shopping cart moving through the aisles.
As they passed the cookie section, the child reached for some cookies and her mother told her “No.” The little girl immediately began to whine and pout and fuss, and the mother said quietly, “Now, Tammy, we just have half of the aisles left to go through, don’t be upset. It won’t be long.”
He passed the mother again in the next aisle, where the little girl began to shout for a toy she had spotted. When she was told she couldn’t have it today, she began to cry. The mother said softly, “There, there, Tammy, now don’t cry. . .only two more aisles to go, and then we’ll be checking out.”
The man again happened to be behind the pair at the check-out, where the little girl immediately began to clamor for candy and burst into a terrible tantrum upon being told there would be no candy purchased today. The mother patiently said, “Calm down, Tammy, we’ll be through this checkout in a few minutes, and then you can go home and have a nice long nap.”
The man stopped to compliment the woman on the way out the door. He said, “I couldn’t help noticing how patient you were with little Tammy.”
The mother said, “My little girl’s name is Susan. . .I’m Tammy!!!”
