What I Really Like About Nuns

Sisters just don't know when to give it up, God bless 'em. I read an obituary today for a Sister Maximus who was born in 1915. A quick glance revealed she taught and then went into administration and other areas, only to be called back into the classroom in 1977 where she remained until her retirement in 1996.

Do the math. Sr. Max re-entered the classroom when she was 66 years old, an age most of us are calling it quits. She taught until she was 81 years old!

And we thought our sisters were elderly! They had nothing on Sr. Maximus. Rest in peace, Sister.
