I need some bread and cereal too

You get a phone call from your Mother. Since her car has been in the shop, she asks you to go to the grocery store and pick up a few odds and ends for her. Bread, milk, cereal, and chicken.
After writing down a small list you reluctantly get in the car and pick up the items at the store. The lady cashier makes an odd remark to you, โYou know, weโre in no danger of a milk shortage.โ Upon arriving at her house you knock several times.
No answer.
You decide to try the door.
It opens.
You place the grocery bag on the counter.
Strange.
There seems to be six other grocery bags, each with identical contents. In a couple, the chicken and the milk has gone badา. โMom,โ you call out, but no answer. You make your way through the kitchen and into the living room. Sitting on the couch, with her head cvt off and neatly resting on her lap, is your Mother.
Naturally you call the polฤฑce who come over to investigate. They mention that she has been ฤeaฤ for nearly a week. Furthermore, the polฤฑce psychiatrist is at the scรจne and talks to you after you give your initial statement. Sitting on the front steps, you overhear the psychiatrist talking with the crฤฑme scรจne investigator.
โItโs not uncommon for people sufferฤฑng from schizophrenia to get lฤฑcked into a series of repetitive behaviors,โ he says.
You think to yourself, โThey canโt be talking about me. Schizophrenia? Nah. Repetitive behaviรธr? Do they think I did this?โ Suddenly your cell phone goes off.
โHello?โ
โHi hun, itโs me. Could you stop at the store and pick up some chicken and milk. Ohh, and I need some bread and cereal too.โ
