A little kid goes grocery shopping with his mother. They separate for a short time. Then, being lost, he says, “Martha! Martha!”
Short time later his mother rushes up and hugs him. She says, “Why did you call out Martha, Martha, I am your mother?”
The kid says, “There are a lot of mothers in the store, better chance you’re the only Martha.”

"Well, at least we know she got there all right," commented her husband.
