HA! You might want to re-think the convent idea.
I was in a line in Wal-Mart yesterday and there were two sour looking nuns behind me.
With my usual luck, I was behind a couple who were stocking up for 3 years in the wilderness. As I watched their incredible collection of stuff being rung up, I turned to the nuns and said, “I’ll bet they have $400 worth of stuff.”
Neither nun smiled. I edged up to check out the actual amount of the couple’s purchase. After deducting their 25 coupons (I always get in line behind 25 coupon people), their total was $501.
Again I turned to the nuns and announced the total. Man, were they humorless and cranky. They were also dumb. They had about 8 items and could have gone through the quick check out.
Not to discourage you, but they were also very plain looking ladies.
So, I’d head on to that woman’s prison if I were you.
The Catholic spiritual life has this idea that you atone for your sins on earth. If you are presented with a difficult situation, you endure it to atone for your sins. You might even go so far as to choose to stand in the regular Wal-Mart line rather than go to the quick checkout line.
That's what the nuns were doing.
= )
Sounds like you were just gossiping,if you have said the same thing to me I would have ignored you too.
