Why I would really like a drink right now …

ME: “Is that a nun on an electric wheelchair up there?”

JAKE: ”Yeah, it must be her time for electricity.”

”What the heck are you talking about?!”

“You know, nuns can only have electricity in limited terms.”

”That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. I had a nun for a kindergarten teacher, and we were allowed to have the lights on the entire day!”

”Well, that was because it was for her job.”

”What about cooking? Are they supposed to hunt and kill for their food? And what about heating their food?”

”Uh, it’s called fire, Bri.”

”So, your saying that every night these nuns stack up some wood to make a nice fire and cook their duck, or what have you, that they caught for the day? I think you are getting confused with the Amish and the Mennonites.”

”No, Mennonites can use electricity. I ate KFC with some Mennonites!”

Just so you aren’t too freaked out, I am pretty sure (let’s just say 89%) that Jake was just pulling my chain. However, I am pretty sure that he did, in fact, eat KFC with Mennonites, although he wants it to be known that they were not actually at his table, they were just in the same restaurant.
