Two nuns were enjoying a quiet stroll through their local 7-Eleven one afternoon. As they walked past the chilled section filled with beer, one of them paused for a moment. She turned to her companion and mentioned how lovely it would be to relax with a cold beer on a warm summer evening. The other nun agreed but confessed she would feel far too self-conscious purchasing it, worried about causing a stir or getting strange looks from other shoppers.
The first nun simply smiled and told her friend not to worry. She walked confidently to the cooler, selected a six-pack, and carried it to the checkout counter. The cashier, a young man, looked at the nuns and then at the beer with a slightly surprised expression. Sensing his curiosity, the nun leaned in with a cheerful and mischievous grin. She explained that at their convent, they humorously refer to beer as “Catholic shampoo,” perfect for washing their hair.
Without missing a beat, the cashier nodded thoughtfully. He then reached under the counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, and gently placed it in the bag alongside the beer. He looked up at the nuns with a warm and friendly smile. “The curlers are on the house,” he said with a wink. The three of them shared a moment of genuine laughter, proving that a little kindness and a good sense of humor can turn an ordinary day into something wonderfully wholesome.
