Pushing DS around a shop when shop lady starting commenting on him "ahh he is lovely" etc etc blah blah. I then noticed her clocking my lack of wedding ring Angry (left them at home - very muggy here and my hands always swell up in heat). I felt compelled to mention that I was looking for a gift for my DH for our anniversary tomorrow... Blush

Was I right to feel the need to point this out??!

When I was pregnant I once sat opposite two nuns on the tube (again not wearing my rings...). Goodness me I wanted to smack their disapproving faces. I do look very young as well. Gggrrrr. I'm not even bloody religious. Why do I care that other people care if I am not married??!! Confused

Why would you care?

There used to be two nuns where I lived who had a 2CV and they would roll back the sun roof in the summer and be smiling away, wimples aflying, while they pootled along. I liked them.

I enjoy taking photos of nuns in unusual situations. There's something very random about seeing them outside of their natural habitat :o

I think people care because its not nice to be judged like that and have people telling you, you are some sort of lesser person. Or even worse, not a decent parent.

Three nuns are walking down the street, when a man jumps out and flashes them. The first nun has a stroke, the second nun has a stroke, the third one didn't touch him.

***
One day there were four nuns in line for confessional.

The first nun said, "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned."

He asked how.
...
She said "I saw a man's private part." He told her to wash her eyes with holy water.

The second nun comes in and says, "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned."

He asked how.

"I touched a man's private parts." He told her to wash her hands in holy water.

Then he heard the third and fourth nun fighting. He asked why they were fighting.

The fourth nun said, "I'm not going to wash my mouth in the holy water if she is going to sit in it."

A cop pulls over a car load of nuns. The cop says, "Sister, this is a 55 MPH highway. Why are you going so slow?"
The Sister replies, "Sir, I saw a lot of signs that said 41, not 55."

The cop answers, "Oh, Sister, that's not the speed limit, that's the name of the highway you are on!"

The Sister says, "Oh! Silly me! Thanks for letting me know. I'll be more careful."

At this point, the cop looks in the backseat where the other nuns are shaking and trembling.

The cop asks, "Excuse me, Sister, what's wrong with your friends back there? They are shaking something terrible."

The Sister answers, "Oh, we just got off Highway 101."

Not that I collect them or anything Grin
