A woman in the supermarket marveled at the patience of a father whose child was making a racket in the store. The father remained calm and said “Moshe, be calm. We’ll be home soon.” The child didn’t listen and continued to carry on. The father appeared unperturbed and again said “We’re almost done. Be calm. We’re leaving soon.”  But the child continued to scream as loud as he could.  When they met at the cash register, the woman said: “I really admire how you speak to your Moshe, without getting angry and in a soft voice.”  “Thank you,” the father said. “But my son isn’t Moshe.  I”m Moshe.”
