Mom's Out There

I was checking out at the local grocery store with just
a few items and the lady behind me put her things on
the belt close to mine.

I picked up one of those "Dividers" that they keep by
the cash register and placed it between our things so
they wouldn't get mixed together.

After the cashier had scanned all of my items, he
picked up the "Divider" looked it all over for the bar
code so he could scan it.

Not finding the bar code, he said to me "Do you
know how much this is?"

I said to him, "I've changed my mind, I don't think
I'll buy that today."

He said "OK" and I paid him for the things and left.
