Sunday is the place to come for weekly laughs. The rules are simple, just have fun.
This is a great opportunity to get to know other bloggers and have a laugh or two in the process. Here is how it works: Laugh and Link Up!
Goodbye Mom:
A guy 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 “Goodbye, 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, Mother.” 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 pay for her things, too.”

See? There's a lesson to be learned here… You put in a little effort, you get back a little reward. bahahahahaha! But I shall not be hollering goodbye to anyone when I go to Sam's Club today. 😀
big hugs xoxo
Pretty clever indeed. I like her style. She knows how to get free groceries. 🙂
That was a delightful read, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much. 🙂
LOL I certainly won't be saying Goodbye Mum to any strangers in supermarkets haha!
Have an expensivetastic Sunday Sandee :-h
Wise plan my friend. 🙂
gotta watch out for those little old ladies although since I'm nearing that stage maybe I should start practicing 🙂
You've got a long way to go Ann. 🙂
Clever old lady, but totally not cool. Thanks for the laugh.
No not cool at all, but funny. 🙂
That sounds like a good move. I don't think I have the nerve to try that. I would end up getting caught. Sandee, you and Zane and Little Bit have a great day.
I know I wouldn't try this because it's not a nice thing to do. 🙂
Ouch! Heeheehee!
Yep, thank goodness it didn't cost more. 🙂
Smart Old lady. What a crook, ha,ha,ha. Have a very smart Sunday Sandee. Keep cool if possible. See ya.
Cruisin Paul
Yep, she's a crook indeed. You have a great day Paul. 🙂
That's another store and town to which the old lady can't return. She was devious but thought small.
She thought very small. Most crooks do. 🙂
The world is so different now. In this case it doesn't pay to be kind. So sad.
True Nancy, but this was for fun. It's not for real. 🙂
Hillary Clinton has been pulling this scheme off for Million$ in Clinton Cash over 40 years.
Yep, and she's one of the biggest crooks I know. 🙂
That was a jaw dropper! Wouldn't surprise me if someone actually tried it somewhere.
Probably has been done a time or two. 🙂
Talk about a Gotch!!! 😀 =)) :-f :-h D-)
Pretty low thing to do indeed Mike. 🙂
Uh-oh…this joke may give little old lady criminals some good ideas!
Probably, but criminals are always thinking of their next mark. 🙂
Yikes!!! LOL!!! 🙂
Yep, I would have said more than yikes though. 🙂
OMG that is funny- poor guy!
Pretty expensive lesson. 🙂
so much for a nice little old lady, buwahhaa
Well, she did get free groceries. 🙂
Beware of smart old lady who could play with sentiments and dupes you.
Quite funny!
And dupe him she did. 🙂
Little old ladies can have their wiles. Beware.
And she sure has hers. 🙂
She might be old, but she's still sharp.
Yep, and she got free groceries too. 🙂
I just read this out loud to Michelle & we both cracked up. Must be one of the funniest jokes I've heard in a long time. Now I know to beware of little old ladies in supermarkets. And to never go shopping with my dear ol' Mum
Yep, it's way cheaper that way. 🙂
hahahahaha!!! smart lady 🙂
Free groceries are free groceries. 🙂
