The Little Old Lady

[Colonialgirl]

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 approached him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel uncomfortable; 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.
"What ? I only bought 5 items."
The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."
Old people are not dumb!

that's sad chuck... too many people in a hurry... but then I'm not 20-40 years old either.

Too bad you are so far away. I'm 70(ish) and sometimes use a cane(not just for support). I'd really like to be present when one of those "youngsters" pulls that crap.

I'm 69, and in some situations will carry a cane, even favor a leg a little. I prefer to be underestimated.
