She'll bring it next time.

...Just about every nun I ever ran across would have not only done that, but insured he didn't get back up again without major medical assistance. And Dad - who went to Cleveland's Holy Name HS - always said that after four years with them, USMC basic held no terrors for him. (There was one he always referred to as Sister Mary Herrmann Goering.)

Jem,

Pretty much. I never got to meet any of them - by the time I was going to Holy Name (just about every other weekend growing up) the school had moved about ten miles away and the nuns followed. The church was getting older -- partially decommissioned years ago , but still saying mass - and it was only the priests there by that time...and they were fearsome enough.

S’right. I don’t know where people get the idea that just because someone’s taken Holy Orders, they’re nice. Or harmless.
