Sister Elizabeth is walking down to breakfast in the convent one morning when she meets Sister Gillian.
“Good morning Sister Elizabeth,” says Sister Gillian, “it looks like you got out of the wrong side of the bed.”
In response, Sister Elizabeth smiles. She’s slightly puzzled by Sister Gillian’s comment but she lets it go.
As she proceeds down the corridor towards the dining room, she then bumps into Sister Julienne.
“Good morning Sister Elizabeth,” says Sister Julienne, “it looks like you got out of the wrong side of the bed.”
Though mildly irritated by hearing this comment a second time, once again she smiles and lets it go.
As she enters the dining room, Sister Elizabeth bumps into the Mother Superior.
“Good morning Sister Elizabeth,” says the Mother Superior, “it looks like you got out of the wrong side of the bed.”
“Why on earth do people keep asking me that question?” says Sister Elizabeth. “Have I been rude to anyone?”
“No, not at all,” replies the Mother Superior, “but you’re wearing the Bishop’s slippers.”
