Wrong Side of The Bed

Mother Superior heard one nun say to the other, "I think she got out
of 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 out of the wrong side of 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 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 personal, Mother Superior. It's just that
you're wearing Father Murphy's slippers."
