Greetings,

Heard this joke and just had to pass
it on.  Hope it gives you a giggle.


A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl
in her basket.
As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and
her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and
fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the
aisles left to go through - don't be upset. It won't be long."

Soon, they came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to shout
for candy. When told she couldn't have any, she began to cry. The mother
said, "There, there, Monica, 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 girl immediately began
to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering
there'd be no gum purchased. The mother patiently said, "Monica, we'll
be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home
and have a nice nap."

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 Monica," he began.

The mother replied, "I'm Monica - my little girl's name is Tammy."
