Those nuns could be secretive

Your prayers are answered: It’s Storytelling Saturday

Once upon a time...

The nuns that taught in my Catholic grammar school could be sadistic.

As far as we could tell, the fire drills at St. Patrick’s were timed for nastiest weather…or during standardized tests. The worst was gym class in the winter: lined up outside the building shivering in t-shirts and shorts…passers-by gawking at our pale skin covered in goose bumps. The nuns were draped head to toe, staying warm.

We had a genuine bomb scare once...but no one knew the difference until word slipped out much later.

Those nuns could be secretive, too.

Post your story in the comments section.

Since we’re (loosely) on the topic of school, here’s a link suggested by none other than Joe from Oregon.

More Expendable/education stuff: Michael from Scotland got this article posted at Dissident Voice (DV) yesterday while RMJ penned this one at Press Action.

Btw, yours truly was quoted in this DV piece.

So, who’s ready for NERD: National Expendable Recipe Day?
