Young Man Notices a Lady Following Him
A young man in a supermarket noticed an elderly woman following him and staring. When she finally approached him at the checkout, she 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 reassured her, “That’s okay.”
She then made an unusual request, “If you’d call out, ‘Goodbye, Mom’ as I leave the store, it would make me so happy.” As she left, he called out, “Goodbye Mom!” She waved and smiled.
Feeling pleased to have brightened her day, he proceeded to pay for his groceries.
The cashier said, “That comes to $121.85.” Surprised, he exclaimed, “How come so much? I only bought 5 items.”
The clerk explained, “Yeah, but your mother said you’d be paying for her things too.”
