Missing My Son (Remastered)

I was in a line at the supermarket the other day, and uhm...
y'know, I had all my things on the little conveyor belt there.
And uh...
there's a gal in front of me that is uh.
well, she's staring at me and I'm getting a
little nervous and uh, she continues to stare at me.
And I uh, I keep looking the other way.
And then, finally she comes over closer to me and she says: '
I apologise for staring, that must have been annoying.
I, I...
You look so much like my son, who died.
I just can't take my eyes off you.
' And she precedes to go into her purse and
she pulls out a photograph of her son who'd died.
And uh, he looks absolutely nothing like me.
In fact he's...
Chinese.
Uh...
anyway, we chatted a little bit.
And uh, she says: '
I'm sorry, I have to ask you.
Would you mind,
as I leave the supermarket here, would you mind saying '
Goodbye mom' to me?

on the conveyor belt and the checker checks out my things.
And uh, and he gives me the total and he says: '
That'll be four hundred and seventy nine dollars.' Uh...
and I said: '
Well, how is that possible!
I've only got a little tuna fish,
and uh some skimmed milk,
and uh mustard and a loaf of bread...' He goes: '
Well, well you're also paying for the groceries for your mother.
She uh, told me you'd take care of the bill for her.' And I said: '
Well, wait a minute!
That's not my mother!' And he says: '
Well I distinctly heard her say as she left the store '
Bye son!' and you said '
Bye mom!' and so what are you trying to say here, uh...' I said: '
Well, JESUS!
' And I looked out into the parking
lot and she was just getting into her car.
And I ran out there.
And she was just closing the door,
and she had a little bit of her leg sticking out of the door and
she was pulling away and I grabbed her leg and I started PULLING it!
Just the way...
I'm pulling yours...
