Father Johnson, a priest at a local parish, is strolling through the church courtyard when he encounters Father Michael.
“Good morning, Father Johnson,” greets Father Michael, “you seem a bit off today. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?”
Father Johnson, slightly puzzled, chuckles and replies, “Well, I don’t think so, but everyone seems to think so today.”
As Father Johnson continues his walk, he runs into Brother Thomas.
“Good morning, Father Johnson,” says Brother Thomas, “it looks like you got out of the wrong side of the bed.”
Now slightly annoyed but trying to keep his composure, Father Johnson replies, “Is this some kind of inside joke? What’s going on?”
Finally, he reaches the church office, where he meets the head nun, Sister Mary.
“Good morning, Father Johnson,” greets Sister Mary, “it looks like you got out of the wrong side of the bed.”
Now thoroughly perplexed and a bit frustrated, Father Johnson exclaims, “Alright, I have to know. Why does everyone think I got out of the wrong side of the bed today? Did I offend someone?”
Sister Mary bursts into laughter and says, “Oh, Father Johnson, it’s not about your mood. It’s about your robe. You’ve accidentally put it on backward!”
Father Johnson looks down, realizes the mishap, and laughs along with Sister Mary, “Well, that explains a lot. I guess I’ll fix that before the sermon!”
