A young man noticed an elderly lady followinghim while shopping in a supermarket.
She stopped when he stopped and kept staring at him.
Eventually, she approached him at the checkout and said,“Ihope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you lookso much like my late son.
The man replied, “That’s okay.
She then made an unusual request: “I know it’s silly, but ifyou’d call out, ‘Goodbye, Mom’as I leave the store, it wouldmake me so happy.
Obligingly, as she left,the man called out,“Goodbye Mom!”She waved and smiled back.
Feeling pleased for brightening her day, the man paid for hisgroceries
The clerk said, “That comes to $121.85.”
Surprised,the man exclaimed,“How come so much! I onlybought 5 items.
The clerk replied, “Yeah, but your mother said you’d be payingfor her things too.”
