The Mother Superior’s Real Complaint 🍷😂
A young nun has been in charge of bookkeeping for the convent’s expenses over the past year. When the deadline arrives, the Mother Superior calls her into the office for a financial audit. Flipping through the ledger, the Mother Superior frowns at an unusual expense and asks in a stern voice:
- “Sister Mary, I see a charge here for a whopping 500 dollars under the category: ‘Soothing emotional wounds with concentrated natural spring water’. Care to explain what on earth this is?”
Sister Mary turns pale, clasps her hands together, and stammers:
- “Mother Superior… those are actually five bottles of high-end wine I secretly bought so the other sisters and I could have a drink in our room on freezing winter nights… I’m so sorry for using metaphors to sneak it past you.”
The Mother Superior slams her hand on the desk and yells:
- “This is a total outrage! I’m not furious because you sneaked some wine. I’m furious about your sheer selfishness! For a whole year, every time I walked in to check on you, you girls pretended to be praying your hearts out, yet not a single one of you thought to pour me a glass of that ‘concentrated spring water’ to soothe my own soul from staring at these dry books! Hand over the remaining two bottles right now!”
