1.   As a very small girl, I was impressed by the story a nun told to our catechism class.

2.   A nun told me, years ago, that we should only discard our bad habits.

3.   A nun told me I was going to receive my Confirmation, so I must choose a Confirmation name, and it must be the name of a saint.

4.   Afterward, the nun told Ms. Madison that what she had said was important and would she please come back and repeat it for the afternoon class?

5.   Later, the nuns told her they had to put her on sedatives because she cried for a week straight.

6.   Once, at a racetrack in Arkansas, a nun told me to put all I could afford on the gray horse.

7.   One nun told the Journal that another nun had given her a wad of cash, asking her to pocket the money and write a check to the party.

8.   The nuns just told us to pray for them, and so we did.

9.   Before leaving, the nuns told their neighbors that they will always carry the town and its people in their hearts, EFE said.

10.   So great was the sense of shame about the process that the nuns often told adopting families the children were orphans.
