Chicken
In the aisles of the supermarket, I play chicken with a nun. Or, more precisely, she plays chicken with me. I’m busy looking for the avocados, and find her in my path, a steely glare letting me know she ain’t budging from her path for anybody. The large silver crucifix around her neck glitters, I step around her immovable presence. Jesus is on her side today.

I thought they were married, you might rethink your position.
Get in her way too much and you'll find yourself playing avocado with a nun as you hunt for chicken...
Although next time, try sidling up to her and whispering conspiritorialy that there's a buy one get one free offer on loaves and fishes in aisle 13... Then watch the fucker scamper.
Nice, reminds me of one of many Nun jokes!
The new nun goes to her first confession. She tells the priest that she has a terrible secret. The priest then tells her that her secret is safe in the sanctity of the confessional.
She says, "Father, I never wear panties under my habit."
The priest chuckles and says, "That's not so serious, Sister Bernadette. Say five Hail Marys, five Our Fathers, and do five cartwheels on your way to the altar."
Two nuns are cycling down a cobbled street.
The first one says "I've never come this way before."
The second one replies "Must be the cobbles"
But who knows what tomorrow brings? Jesus has to sleep sometime...
Your focused slice-of-life scene is perfect for a Fellini movie. Excelsior.
If Jesus wasn't always on a nun's side, I wouldn't know whose side he'd be on.
I think Jesus is afraid of nuns.
It's a scary time when you have to fight Jesus for avocados. What's the world coming to???
p.s. I kept meaning to get here and fnally made it! So glad too.
You're lucky--I'm surprised you didn't get rapped with a ruler.
