Perspective

When I was in 2nd grade we had a assignment to write what we wanted to be when we grow-up. I was raised in a Catholic family and went to Catholic school. I had a Great_aunt who was a nun..you can see where this is going right?? Sure enough I wrote my essay on becoming a Nun. I even drew a lovely picture of a Nun on the back page covered with hearts and crosses. I remember standing up to read my essay and when I was finished I looked up at my teacher (who was a Nun) whose mouth was hanging agape...I thought it was odd at the time. She composed herself and said "Well welcome to the order we'd be happy to have you" and then I sat down oddly pleased with my choice. Fast forward to present day...happily married with a daughter...good grief what was I thinking in the second grade?!?!?
