A guy 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, 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, Mum" 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, Mother." The little old lady waved and smiled back at him and said “Thank you”. Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries. "That comes to R1121.85," said the checkout girl. "It can't be that much ! I only bought 5 items." The checkout girl replied "Yes, but your Mother said you'd pay for her things, too.".
