A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things
when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of
it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout
line, but she got in front of him.
"Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if
my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you
look just like my son, who just died recently."
"I'm very sorry,"
replied the young man, "is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she
said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye, Mother'? It would make me
feel so much better."
"Sure," answered the young man.
As the old
woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" As he stepped up to
the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. "How can that
be?" He asked, "I only purchased a few things!"
"Your mother said that
you would pay for her," said the clerk.
