Hope this touches you the way it touched me!


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 was ahead of 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, "Good-bye, 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.
"That can't be right... I only bought 5 items."
The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."
Bet you thought this was going to be a tear jerker. Don't trust little old ladies!!!!

Thanks, this supports my stranger danger speech to my kids…. "Old doesn't mean wise or kind, it just means old".

Omg my friend called me a year or two ago and told me this story, and said that it happened to him, hahahaha!! I had goosebumps and was tearing up while he was telling me, and then when I heard she made him pay for her groceries I was like "OMG she did NOT!" :p :p
Then he finally told me he was kidding. Jerk.
