MissyP89 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 [quote name='cmariadiaz' timestamp='1317235282' post='2311773'] Did I ever mention the time that I (with the help of my fellow postulants) played a joke on the assistant postulant mistress? (I will post the details later). It was an april fool's joke. [/quote] You would.

cmaD2006 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 [quote name='MissyP89' timestamp='1317340686' post='2312612'] You would. [/quote] The best part yet ... the assistant postulant mistress didn't even ASK who it was. Nor did any of us get in trouble. I mean ... it was great. I *think* I posted it in another thread. Will go hunt it down and if I can't find it I will repost. And yep the idea was mine, and I got all of the other three postulants to go along. Each of us played a role in the joke. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha . I still to this day do NOT know if the sister knows whose idea was it.

vee Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 It was probably her and she's blaming that group
faithcecelia Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 One evening at recreation we were celebrating something (cant remember what) and had a few drinkies. By the time we went through to Readings we were a little pink cheeked and, erm, happy. We made it through the psalmody fairly easily, but when one reading was on the evil of drunkenness we were all just gone, half wetting ourselves laughing! How the poor sister reading managed I'll never know. The elderly former prioress and NM (for a total of about 60yrs!) wrote an absolutely beautiful monologue of the Monastery Cat which she read to use at recreation. It was the most wonderful tale of pride, loss of innocence, humiliation and reconciliation.....as the cat found herself 'in the family way' and was too ashamed to let holy nuns see her like that!!! Oh I [i]must[/i] see if I can get a copy of it, it was just delightful

I can visualize all the sisters laughing while the poor sister reading tried to keep her razzle dazzle and I can't stop laughing.
