A Lesson in Patience, Part 2


A friend of my family's was throwing a brunch one Sunday morning and ran out to the store to pick up a few last minute items. The lines were extraordinarily long and he was in a bit of a rush. This was in the days before express lanes and he stood behind an elderly woman who had a cart full of groceries. He asked her if she would mind if he went before her since he only had a few items. She regarded him for a moment, then said, "Sonny ... I don't have as much time as you."
