The convent dining hall was unusually quiet that morning.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Soft sunlight spilled through stained-glass windows while the sisters prepared breakfast.<\/p>\n

But Sister Agnes looked as though she had seen a ghost.<\/p>\n

Pale.<\/p>\n

Shaken.<\/p>\n

And clutching her rosary like it might fly away.<\/p>\n

Sister Margaret noticed immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cSister\u2026 are you alright?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes looked up nervously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the strangest dream last night\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Concerned, Margaret sat beside her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of dream frightens you this much?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes hesitated.<\/p>\n

Then whispered:<\/p>\n

\u201cI dreamed\u2026 I was married.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret blinked.<\/p>\n

Then smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, that hardly sounds terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Agnes shook her head quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t stop there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret leaned closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes lowered her voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the dream\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She swallowed dramatically.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I spent the entire night with my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n

The nearby sisters pretending not to listen suddenly became very interested in their tea.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d Margaret asked.<\/p>\n

Agnes looked horrified.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen morning came\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She pressed a hand to her chest.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026he rolled over, smiled at me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The room seemed to pause.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd asked what I was making for breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret blinked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat frightened you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes gasped dramatically.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t understand!\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked around as though confessing mortal danger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had NO idea what to cook!\u201d<\/p>\n

A few sisters nearby snorted into their cups.<\/p>\n

Margaret laughed softly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all?\u201d<\/p>\n

But Agnes shook her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n

Her eyes widened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt got worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now even the cook paused beside the stove.<\/p>\n

Margaret smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorse than breakfast?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes nodded gravely.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sisters leaned closer.<\/p>\n

Agnes whispered:<\/p>\n

\u201cI panicked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret fought a smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She lowered her voice further.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026that maybe we should fast and pray instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

The room chuckled.<\/p>\n

But Agnes continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked truly distressed.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026he asked if we had bacon.\u201d<\/p>\n

That did it.<\/p>\n

Laughter rippled across the room.<\/p>\n

Margaret wiped her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cSister Agnes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

But Agnes wasn\u2019t finished.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think that\u2019s funny?\u201d<\/p>\n

She crossed herself dramatically.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my dream\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Her voice trembled.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I didn\u2019t even know where the frying pan was!\u201d<\/p>\n

Now the entire dining hall shook with laughter.<\/p>\n

One sister nearly dropped a spoon.<\/p>\n

Margaret laughed harder.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou poor thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes sighed heavily.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she added solemnly:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd just when I thought I survived the worst\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The room quieted again.<\/p>\n

Margaret grinned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes leaned closer and whispered:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe asked what time dinner would be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The convent exploded.<\/p>\n

Even the elderly Mother Superior looked up from her newspaper smiling.<\/p>\n

Margaret wiped tears from her cheeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds more exhausting than sinful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes nodded gravely.<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly!\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she clutched her rosary again and delivered the line that made everyone laugh hardest of all:<\/p>\n

\u201cSister\u2026 after that dream\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She sighed dramatically.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I finally understand why some marriages need counseling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dining hall erupted.<\/p>\n

Even Mother Superior laughed into her coffee.<\/p>\n

Still shaking with laughter, Margaret asked:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what did you do after waking up?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes looked relieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thanked heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor preserving your vocation?\u201d<\/p>\n

Agnes shook her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she grinned mischievously.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor saving me from cooking breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
