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 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."
She replied, "I know it's silly, but if you'd call out 'Good bye,, Mom' as I leave the store, it would make me really happy." She then went through the checkout, and, as she was on her way out the door, the young man called out, "Goodbye, Mom." 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'll be $121.85", said the clerk. Shocked, he replied, "Why so much? I only bought a few items. " The clerk replied, "Yeah, but you Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."
Yep. Watch out for those little old ladies...
