One morning at the convent, Mother Superior was taking a shower when one of the younger nuns knocked on the bathroom door.
“Mother Superior,” the nun called gently, “there is a blind man here to see you.”
Mother Superior paused for a moment, then shrugged.
“Well,” she said, “if the man is blind, then there is no harm in sending him in. Let him enter.”
The young nun nodded and went to bring the visitor inside.
A few moments later, a man walked into the bathroom, carrying some tools and a few long packages under his arm.
Mother Superior, still in the shower, smiled politely and began speaking to him.
“My dear man,” she said warmly, “I want you to know how much we appreciate your help here at the convent. It is always a blessing when kind people offer their time and skills to support our work.”
The man stood there quietly, listening.
Mother Superior continued for several minutes, praising his generosity, his dedication, and the importance of helping others.
After nearly ten minutes, the man finally cleared his throat and interrupted her.
“That’s very nice and all, ma’am,” he said, “but you can put your clothes on now.”
Mother Superior froze.
Then the man lifted the packages in his hands and added:
“Where do you want me to put these blinds?”
