You know how Sister Berthe always makes me kiss the floor when we've had a disagreement? Well, lately, I've taken to kissing the floor whenever I see her coming, just to save time.

Once upon a time in a small village far away, there were two very kind and very old nuns. The very kind and very old nuns got together to play drums. While they were very kind and very old, they were also very horrible - at drumming. One spring people in their village decided to have a talent show, and the nuns went up to the coordinator of the talent show and said, "We'd like to play our drums together in the talent show." The talent show coordinator was stuck -- he could let them play, and they would ruin the talent show, or he could say no and make two very kind and very old nuns very sad.
This is where the term conundrum originated.
