A young man is walking through a supermarket, when he notices an old lady following him around…
Thinking nothing of it, he ignores her and continues shopping.
As he gets to the checkout line, she moves in front of him…
“Pardon me,” she says, “I’m sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable… “
“It’s just that you look just like my son who died recently.”
“I’m very sorry,” replies the young man, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Yes,” she says, “As I’m leaving, can you say “Goodbye mother”?”
“It would make me feel much better.”
“Sure,” answers the young man.
As the old woman is leaving, he calls out, “Goodbye mother!”
When he steps up to the checkout counter, he sees that his total is $625.50…
“How can that be?” he asks, “I only purchased a few things!”
The clerk replies…
“Your mother said you would pay for her.”
