Wrong Side Of The Bed
Mother Superior was on her way to late morning prayers when she
Passed two novices just leaving early morning prayers, on their way
To classes. As she passed the young ladies, Mother Superior said,
"Good morning ladies"
The novices replied, "Good morning, Mother Superior, may God be with
You."
But after they had passed, Mother Superior heard one say to the
Other, "I think she got up on the wrong side of the bed this
Morning." This startled Mother Superior, but she chose not to pursue
The issue.
A little further down the hall, Mother Superior passed two of the
Sisters who had been teaching at the convent for several years. She
Greeted them with, "Good morning, Sister Martha, Sister Jessica, may
God give you wisdom for our students today."
"Good morning, Mother Superior. Thank you, and may God be with you."
But again, after passing, Mother Superior overheard, "She got up on
The wrong side of the bed today." Baffled, she started to wonder if
She had spoken harshly, or with an irritated look on her face. She
Vowed to be more pleasant.
Looking down the hall, Mother Superior saw retired Sister Mary
Approaching, step by step, with her walker. As Sister Mary was
Rather deaf, Mother Superior had plenty of time to arrange a
Pleasant smile on her face before greeting Sister Mary. "Good
Morning, Sister Mary. I'm so happy to see you up and about. I pray
God watches over you today, and grants you a wonderful day."
"Ah, Good morning, Mother Superior, and thank you. I see you got up
On the wrong side of the bed this morning."
Mother Superior was floored! "Sister Mary, what have I done wrong? I
Have tried to be pleasant, but three times already today people have
Said that about me."
Sister Mary stopped her walker, and looked Mother Superior in the
Face. "Oh, don't take it personally, Mother Superior. It's just that
You're wearing Father Murphy's slippers."
