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, and she turned to him and 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, Mum" as I
leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."
She
then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the
man called out, "Goodbye, Mum."
The
little old lady waved, and 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 operator.
"How
come so much ... I only bought 5 items.."
The
operator replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her
things, too."
