Mother Superior

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 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
