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,
and 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."
"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, " 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 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."
Don't trust little Old Ladies!!!

Debra H: Thanks for the ten and I'm glad you thought it was funny.
Shawnee T: I know... I figured people would think this was about something else when they saw the title, I almost changed it, but then one of the kids was asking me for something and I hit "post" and then just left it. ;o)
Tab B: I love your "1 Calorie" name by the way, I think it's really clever. Glad this didn't actually happen to you! But yeah, that's a tricky Granny!
heba a: sorry I tricked you! But glad you liked it.
Kind of.
