A young man noticed an elderly lady

following him around while shopping in a supermarket.

She stopped when he stopped and kept staring at him.

Eventually, at the checkout, she approached 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.”

The man replied,

“That’s okay.”She then made an unusual request:

“I know it’s silly, but if you’d call out,

the man proceeded to pay for his groceries.

”Surprised, the man exclaimed,

“How come so much!
