I was shopping at HEB (the local supermarket) this weekend and I noticed this little old lady following me around. Whenever I stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at me.

She finally overtook me at the checkout. She turned 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."

I felt a little bad, so I thought to make her feel better I said, "That's okay."

She went on to say "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. As she was on her way out of the store, I thought what the heck, make a little old lady feel good, so I called out, "Goodbye, Mom."
The little old lady waved, and smiled back.

Thinking that I had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, I loaded my groceries onto the belt and moved up to pay for my groceries.

"That comes to $347.85," said the clerk.

"What?!?, How is it so much? I only got a few things!"

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."


Don't trust little Old Ladies!!!
