Throughout
everyone’s lifetime, there are instances where people take advantage of other
people’s kindness in a negative way. The following story is an example of this
type of behavior…even though it is done in a comical way!
Goodbye Mom!

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.
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.
