Goodbye Mum

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 finally overtook 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, 'Goodbye, 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.

'How come so much ... I only bought 5 items..'

The clerk replied, 'Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too.'

It’s a Fact

• Rocking your head from side to side will bring your hands out from being asleep. If your feet fall asleep, stand up and walk around.

• If you close your eyes, tense your body, take a deep breath, and, after a few seconds, release your breath and muscles at the same time your distance vision will not regress.

• Pressing your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth will cure the feeling of brain freeze.
