A young man noticed an elderly lady following him around while shopping in a supermarket. She stopped when he stopped and kept staring at him. Eventually, at the checkout, she approached him and said, \u201cI hope I haven\u2019t made you feel ill at ease; it\u2019s just that you look so much like my late son.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man replied, \u201cThat\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then made an unusual request: \u201cI know it\u2019s silly, but if you\u2019d call out, \u2018Goodbye, Mom\u2019 as I leave the store, it would make me so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Obligingly, as she left, the man called out, \u201cGoodbye Mom!\u201d She waved and smiled back.<\/p>\n
Feeling pleased for brightening her day, the man proceeded to pay for his groceries. The clerk said, \u201cThat comes to $121.85.\u201d<\/p>\n
Surprised, the man exclaimed, \u201cHow come so much! I only bought 5 items.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clerk replied, \u201cYeah, but your mother said you\u2019d be paying for her things too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
