Little Old Ladies
A
young man shopping in a super Wal-Mart 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 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,
Mom" 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,
"Good-bye,
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
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."
