When I grow up... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

SirLance · 12-30-2005, 02:09 PM

Sister Brigid was teaching her young students one day and she asked each of them what they would like to be when they grew up.

She came to a little girl who responded, "When I grow up I want to be a prostitute."

Shocked through to her very soul, good Sister Brigid fainted on the spot.

Her students rushed to revive her.

When she finally came around, the Sister asked the little girl, "What did you say you wanted to be when you grew up?"

"A prostitute," the girl replied, honestly, "just like my mum."

"Oh thank the Lord," the relieved nun replied. "I thought you said a Protestant."

I come from a protestant family and that's hilarious. I even told my mom (Who's actively religious) and she thought it was funny.

I'd think it would be more offensive to catholics than protestants.

I don't think it's offensive really. Unless you haven't heard of Ireland, you know about the huge rift between the Catholics and Protestants, and this is just making fun of that rift.

Quite cute though!
