Supermarket Mom
A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed
a little old lady following him around.
If he stopped, she stopped.
Furthermore she kept staring at him.
She finally overtook him at the checkout,
& she turned to him & said,
"I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease;
it's just that you look so much like my late son."
He answered, "That's okay."
"I know it's silly,
but if you'd call out 'Good bye, Mom'
as I leave the store,
it would make me feel so happy."
She then went through the checkout,
& as she was on her way out of the store,
the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."
The little old lady waved & smiled back at him..
Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries.
"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk.
"How come so much? I only bought 5 items."
The clerk replied,
"Yeah, but your Mother said
You'd be paying for her things, too."
