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 the 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. 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."


Thanks Norman.... Damn it is great to be Christian and not have to blow somebody up for poking fun at you.
