I/We

At a small parish in rural New England there lived a priest and several
nuns. One day, one of the older nuns was noticing that the rugs in the
church were beginning to fray. She went to the priest and told him,
"Father, I believe your rugs need to be replaced soon."

The priest thanked her for bringing it to his attention, and told her
that he thought that she had been there long enough to refer to church
property as "our" not "your."

Several days later, the same nun noticed that the hedge needed to be
rimmed. She again went to the priest and told him, "Father, I've
noticed
that your... I mean our hedge needs to be trimmed."

The priest thanked her for again bringing something to his attention
and this time asked her if she had seen his watch that had gone
missing.
She said she hadn't, but assured him she would look for it.

Another few days passed, and the parish received word that the bishop
would be coming for a visit. The whole parish was in an uproar of
cleaning, etc. On the day the bishop arrived, the nun came down the
front stairs yelling, "Father, Father, I found the watch!!"

The bishop said, "How wonderful my child."

After saying hello to the bishop, the nun turned to the priest and
said, "I found it under our bed."
