A young man was at the supermarket shopping when he noticed a little old lady following him. Every time he stopped, she stopped and when he looked at her, she always gave him a timid smile. She followed him throughout the store and overtook him at the checkout. As he stood behind her, she said “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable, but you look so much like my late son.” “That’s okay”, he replied. “I know it’s silly, but if you could call out to me “goodbye Mom!” as I leave the store, it would make me so happy” she said meekly as only a gentle old lady can. She went through the checkout and as she was on her way through the door, he called out “Goodbye Mom!” The little old lady smiled and waved back. Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone’s day, he went to pay for his groceries. “That’ll be $121.85,” said the clerk. “How could what I bought come to that much? It was only five items!” he gasped. The clerk replied, “Yeah, but your Mother said you’d be paying for her items too.” Bet you thought this was going to be a tear jerker! Don’t trust little old ladies!
There's a further twist on this one I've been using for years, telling the story about my brother and the little old lady, and he tells the cashier to "HOLD ON!!!" and runs out after her and catches her just "throwing stuff in her car and catches her door as she goes to slam it, and then the starts to kicking the hell out of him and he's trying to get her out of the car pulling on her leg, ..... (pause)..... Just like I am yours right now.... :D Been telling that one for at LEAST 20yrs, and in the right company, it never gets old.... Get someone who's heard it before, and it becomes an improv joke....
