"She Ain't No Nun"

While Matt and Sunshine were in Virginia, attending to Sunshine's brother, Miss Kitty was at loose ends. Even though Matt had definitely "broken camp" with her, it was still comforting to see him around town. As she stood on the boardwalk outside the long Branch, Preacher Proffit stopped to speak...."Oh, Miss Kitty...Do you have a minute?"
Kitty nodded her head reluctantly and leaned against a post.
Preacher Proffit:" I was wondering if you would join the work crew at the church. Think you might give it a go?"
Kitty: "(1) Look, what am I gonna be, Quasimodo in the belfry?"

Preacher Proffit, who had little if ANY sense of humor, was confused......"Is that a 'yes' or a 'no' ? "

Kitty: "Yes. Yes. I'll help out."
Preacher Proffit:"Wonderful!! And there's one more small request. Would you please play the tambourine for this Sunday's service?"
Kitty:"The WHAT? Okay. Okay. Is that about it?!" She curtsied and went back in the long Branch....... "Sam? Pour me a tall one, babe."

A few hours later Kitty showed up at the church. She looked around. Everyone was busy and she seemed to be in the way.
Kitty: " (5) There's got to be something around here I can do that's not gonna chip my nails or annoy anybody," she muttered to herself!
Preacher Proffit:"Oh! Miss Kitty. You haven't changed your mind about this Sunday's service, have you?"
Kitty:"Yes, I have, actually." The Preacher looked dismayed.
" Listen up....... I just can NOT help out, after all. (3) I am a relic and I have misplaced my tamborine."
She decided that her contribution to the work force would be to play her harmonica and do a Western version of a medieval square dance; Serenading the others.
Mrs. Proffit watched this display of debauchery as she whispered to her husband...... "Psst! Why is she so strange?"
Preacher Proffit:"Her parents were JUST like this, I hear tell."
Mrs. Proffit:" (6) Were they Catholics ?" He nodded his head.
"Ahhhhhh....That explains it."

After a few minutes, Kitty decided to leave. Preacher Proffit stopped her....... "Miss Kitty. There is work to be done. (2) God has brought you here - take the hint . Here's a hammer and some nails."
As Kitty pitched in, she started singing a little dittie she had learned in her early Catholic schooling:

♫ " When I heard the news from mother.That you had just found another. That's the day that I became a nun.♫"

One of the men in the work crew turned to his buddy and said:" What a CROCK....(4) Because I know this woman in the biblical sense and she ain't no Nun !"

My name is Terrance. I am 17 years old and have been kicked out of 4 schools. (who doesn't have anger issues at 17, i mean really people, c'mon.) So my parents shipped me out to a religious co-ed boarding school in BFE, where they regulate your free time, clothes, personal relationships, and damn near everything else you can think of.

I was givin' the principal some unsolicited reasoning as to why i shouldn't be here, and her only response was "God has brought you here - take the hint". What the hell was that supposed to mean? Were they Catholics or summin'? Oh yeah, crap. Did I mention we have required Bible Study and have to work... for NOTHING?!? Look, what am I gonna be, Quasimodo in the belfry? There has GOT to be something around here i can do that's not gonna chip my nails or annoy anbody. This is ridiculous.

Best part of my year so far happened today though man... this girl who was a year ahead of me at my highschool back home..... she's here. I sh*t you not. She's a Nun. But I know that ain't right, because I know this woman in the biblical sense and she ain't no Nun. Knowwhatimsayin. Hell yeah boi!

I tried to go up and talk to the girl, you know, to see if we could rekindle that "spark". (worth a try, right?) I walked right up to her, and before I could even say Hi she goes, "I am a relic and I have misplaced my tamborine." No wonder why she's out here, girl has issues! I'm gonna take a guess and say she got the thin envelopes back from all her college applications.
