A man observed a woman out shopping with her three-year-old daughter. The girl asked for cookies and her mother said, "No." When she
began to whine the mother said, "Ellen, we’re half done with the shopping;
don't be upset. It won't be long." When they reached the candy aisle the
little girl began to shout for candy. When she was told she couldn't have any,
she began to cry. The mother said, "Don’t cry, Ellen. Two more aisles and we'll
be checking out." The girl wanted gum at the checkout and threw a tantrum when
her mother didn’t buy any. The mother said, "Ellen, we'll be through this
checkout stand in five minutes, and then you can go home and have a nice
nap." In the parking lot the man stopped the woman to compliment her.
"I couldn't help noticing how patient you were with little Ellen." The
mother broke in, "My girl's name is Tammy. I'm Ellen."
