Don't trust little Old Ladies!!!
I was shopping at Wal-Mart and noticed a little old lady following me around.
I stopped, she stopped.
Furthermore she kept staring at me.
She finally overtook me at the checkout, and she turned to me and said,
"I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease;
it's just that you look so much like my late daughter."
I 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,
I called out, "Good-bye, Mom."
The little old lady waved, and smiled back at me .
Pleased that I had brought a little sunshine into someone's day,
I turned back to the clerk to pay for my 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."
I stopped, she stopped.
