As they pass the cookie section, the little girl screams for cookies. The mother says, "Now Missy, we only have a few more aisles to go. Don't throw a fit, it won't be long."
In the candy aisle, the little girl whines for candy. She takes one and puts it into the mother's cart, but the mother calmly puts it back on the shelf and says, "Missy, don't cry. Two more aisles and we'll be checking out."
When they get to the checkout counter, the little girl howls for gum. She once again grabs one and places it in the cart, and once again her mother places it back on the shelf. The mother says reassuringly, "Missy, we'll be done in 5 minutes, then you can go home and have a bottle and a nice snooze."
The man sees all of this and is absolutely stunned at the mother's incredible patience with her screaming child. After what seems like ages, the mother finally checks out. She goes to her car and starts packing everything into the trunk, but then the man runs out and stops the woman to compliment her.
"I couldn't help but notice how patient you were with little Missy," he says. "She was very annoying but you acted perfectly."
The mother then says with a smile: "My little girl's name is Francine. Missy is my name.”
