October
7th's Con:
|
I was in the supermarket picking up a few things when I noticed
an old lady following me around. Thinking nothing of it,
I ignored her and continued on. Finally I went to the
checkout line, but she got in front of me.
"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. He moved to California and I never see him any
more."
"I'm very sorry," I said to her, "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," I said. An odd request, but no harm would come of
it. As the old woman was leaving, I called out, "Goodbye,
Mother!"
As I stepped up to the checkout counter, I saw that my
total was $127.50.
"How can that be?" I asked, "I only purchased a few items!"
"Oh, your mother said that you would pay for her," explained
the clerk. |
