 A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick
 up a few things when he noticed an old lady following
 him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and
 continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but
 she got in front of him.

 "Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has
 made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just
 like my son, who just died recently."

 "I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is there anything
 I can do for you?"

 "Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye,
 Mother!' ? It would make me feel so much better."

 "Sure," answered the young man.

 "Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye,
 Mother!' ? It would make me feel so much better."

 "Sure," answered the young man.

 As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye,
 Mother!"

 As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that
 his total was $127.50.

 "How can that be?" he asked, "I only purchased a few
 things!"

 "Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the
 clerk.
