A Monk Swimmin’

A small child had this conversation with her mother:

“Mommy, I didn’t know Mary was a monk.”

“A monk? I don’t think so.”

“Then why do we call her a monk?”

“We don’t call her a monk.”

“Yes, we do, in the Hail Mary when we pray the Rosary.”

“We do?”

“Yes. And why does she swim?”

“She swims?”

“Mom! In the Rosary, we say, ‘Blessed are you, a monk swimmin,’ and blessed is the fruit o’ thy womb.”

I thought this one was pretty funny. Right up there with “Howard be thy name.”
