Members phkrause Posted May 3, 2012 Members Posted May 3, 2012 David Epstein grew up in a small town but moved to New York to go to college. On one of his first trips to the supermarket 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 passed away." "I'm very sorry," replied David. "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 David. As the old woman was leaving, David called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" As David 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. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
