Supermarket Encounter

A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around.

"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?"

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.

The old lady said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good news." The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?" The old la...
