Steve and Tallady, a cashier, had said hello to each other a few times at the store, but theyd never really talked. He hadnt even known her name. Steve thought there was no

28、 possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name. For a few months, Steve avoided Tallady. “I wasnt sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter.
