Conversation with a nun today.
Her: *ends phone conversation with her adult son* He has this whole drama going on, he borrowed some money from the monastery, and he keeps calling me.
Me: Uh-oh.
Her: Yeah. But the good thing is, I took my final vows? So I gave up all my worldly possessions - not that I had many! - so now I can't lend him any money, obviously. It's like it's not my job to be the mom anymore! I get to just send him to the prioress.
Me: You have found a way to retire from mom-ery. You hacked the system.
Her: Yeah! It's pretty great.
Me: Uh-oh.
