I was in a line at the supermarket the other day, and uhm... y'know, I had all my things on the little conveyor belt there. --- And uh... there's a gal in front of me that is, uh... well, she's staring at me, and I'm getting a little nervous and, uh, she continues to stare at me. --- And I, uh, I keep looking the other way. --- And then, finally she comes over closer to me and she says: "I apologize for staring, that must have been annoying. I, I... You look so much like my son, who died. I just can't take my eyes off you." --- And she proceeds to go into her purse and she pulls out a photograph of her son who'd died. --- And uh, he looks absolutely nothing like me. --- In fact he's... Chinese.
Uh... anyway, we chatted a little bit. --- And uh, she says: "I'm sorry, I have to ask you. Would you mind, as I leave the supermarket here, would you mind saying "Goodbye mom" to me? I, I know it's a strange request but I haven't heard my son saying "Goodbye mom" to me, and "So long" and it would mean so much to me to hear it. And uh, if you don't mind I... " --- And I said: "Well, you know, okay, yeah, sure. Eh.. uh... I can say that." --- And, and so... she, uh, gets her groceries all checked out. --- And uh, as she's going out the door she waves at me and she hollers across the store: "Goodbye son!" --- And I look up and I wave and I say: "Goodbye mom!" --- And then she goes.
And uh... So I get my few things there, on the conveyor belt and the checker checks out my things. --- And uh, and he gives me the total and he says: "That'll be four hundred and seventy nine dollars." --- Uh... and I said: "Well, how is that possible! I've only got a little tuna fish, and uh some skimmed milk, and uh mustard and a loaf of bread..." --- He goes: "Well, well you're also paying for the groceries for your mother. She uh, told me you'd take care of the bill for her." --- And I said: "Well, wait a minute! That's not my mother!" --- And he says: "Well I distinctly heard her say as she left the store "Bye son!" and you said "Bye mom!" and so what are you trying to say here, uh..." --- I said: "Well, JESUS!" --- And I looked out into the parking lot and she was just getting into her car. --- And I ran out there. --- And she was just closing the door, and she had a little bit of her leg sticking out of the door, and she was pulling away, and I grabbed her leg... and I started PULLING it! --------- Just the way... I'm pulling yours...
Happy April 1st everyone!
