A man observed a woman in a supermarket with a little girl seated in her shopping cart. As they passed the bakery section, the little girl asked for a cookie and her mother told her, "No!"

The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said calmly, "Now, Connie, we just have half of the aisles left to go
through, so don't be upset. It won't be long now."

They soon came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to yell for candy. When she was told she couldn't have any, she began to cry. The mother said, "Now, now, Connie, don't cry….only two more aisles to go and then we'll be checking out."

When they finally got to the checkout, the little girl immediately began to reach for the gum. When she was told there wouldn't be any gum purchased, she burst into a terrible tantrum. The mother said serenely, "Connie, we'll be through the checkout in a few 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 but notice how patient you were with
your little Connie," he began.

"I'm Connie…..my little girl's name is Diana!" the woman replied.
