A Mother and Her Son

Joe left the young sweeper to her job and approached a woman pushing a cart with her son in it. “Cute kid.” Joe said ushering over an older lady at least sixty. The mother was probably thirty her son maybe two. The sixty year old finally reaches Joe and he says “You two ladies accidentally swapped carts you better make sure you take your son outside.” he said to the sixty year old who suddenly remembered she had a two year old son. They swapped the carts back and the mother began to reach for her child “Why are you reaching for my son?” The granny said. “No, that is my son you are way too old sorry to say.” She yells at her.

The granny was pissed at the mother trying to take what she thought was her son looked at her with rage “You are a crazy bitch you know that!” She yells back. Joe wanted to see how much chaos and change he could cause and interjected between the two women. The two women looked at him with daggers in there eyes. He just stepped between two land mines but he had the stone, “Ladies, ladies you are both pretty so why fight?” a tiny shift and both women looked a little better at least in Joe’s standards. “You two are just gonna kiss and make up alright?” Suddenly the granny and the mother kissed and seemed to calm down. The mother began to reach for the kid again and Joe stepped in. “You are just gonna let the granny and the kid go and won’t bother chasing them.” the mother looked heart broken then Joe turned to the granny. “You are gonna leave here with your “son”. You will never shop at this store again and will raise your child lovingly.” The granny just smiled and walked away.

Joe turned back to the mother who was beginning to cry. “Why would you just let her leave with my son?” The mother asked. Joe felt bad but had an evil idea “What are you talking about mom? I’m right here I’m your son not him!” said Joe to the thirty year old mother. Her tears dried up immediately and a loving smile came one her face. “Oh my, how silly of me did I really just begin to cry for something so silly. How could I not recognize my own little boy.”she said dragging him in for a hug. Her demeanor had totally changed into a more loving motherly one from a cold one because he had let her son get take. “Come on honey I still have more shopping to do. Also you definitely need a bath later mister you smell.” She said urging Joe to come along. Joe trotted along having a young lovely new mother. It was a new experience for him since he grew up with only his dad. Though he didn’t have much attachment to this woman.

Joe threw some hard **** into the cart and proceeded to throw tons of junk into it. When he felt that he was done he looked at his mom and said “You don’t need to do any more shopping what is in the cart is enough mom.” Joe smiles as a puzzled look crosses her face and she comes back. “Of course that is all I need thanks for reminding me honey bunch.” She said with a very happy smile the cart was filled with snacks, candy and ****. They reach the check stand where a man was standing scanning all the items. “Is there anything I can help you with today sir and madam?” Joe sees the checker’s nose pull back clearly picking up on Joe’s stench. Joe looked at him and said “All the money in the register and you pay for our groceries would be nice.” The man’s face contorts for a moment and then he opened the register and handed my mother all the money from it. He then took his wallet out and paid for it.

Joe happy, took note that this guy was likely the manager which the sweeper was sleeping with. The mother whose name was Casey looked confused at the money in her hand she goes to speak up but Joe interrupts her and says “Mom you will take the money and won’t worry about it.” The money is soon in her purse and she continues to say something “My son is not a sir yet. He is still my little boy. Isn’t that right?” She said looking at Joe. Joe looked at the woman and says “No mom, you see me as a man I am grown up. But, you still love me like a child.” Her eyes cross for a moment letting Joe know his words sunk in. They proceeded to leave the store and get in the white Mazda leaving Joe’s Jeep behind. Joe sat in the front seat having gotten himself a new mom he would definitely need to have some fun with.
