At a small parish in rural New England there lived
a priest, and several nuns². One day, one of the older
nuns was noticing that the rugs in the church were
beginning to fray³. She went to the priest and told him,
"Father, I believe your rugs need to be replaced soon."

The priest thanked her for bringing it to his attention,
and told her that he thought that she had been there long
enough to refer to church property as 'our' not 'your.'

Several days later, the same nun¹ noticed that the hedge
needed to be trimmed. She again went to the priest and
told him, "Father, I've noticed that your...I mean our
hedge needs to be trimmed."

The priest thanked her for again bringing something to
his attention and this time asked her if she had seen his
watch that had gone missing. She said she hadn't, but
assured him she would look for it.

A few days later the parish received word that the bishop⁴
would be coming for a visit. The entire parish was busy
readying the church for the visit. On the day the bishop
arrived, the same nun came down the front stairs yelling,
"Father! Father! I found your watch!"

The bishop said, "How wonderful my child. Where did you
find it?"

After saying hello to the bishop, the nun turned to the
priest and said, "I found it under OUR bed."
