I taught Mexican girls one summer and they all called me, and the other teachers, including the sisters, "Miss." It does look strange in the book if you don't know this. My husband thought it was disrespectful until he found out why.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644982103236354070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-83497448512630500512008-11-03T23:32:00.000-08:002008-11-03T23:32:00.000-08:00Sister...I cannot sleep and I have the most random...Sister...<BR/><BR/>I cannot sleep and I have the most random, totally unimportant question. My daughter is obsessed with the book Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans .The story, which takes place in Paris, refers to a nun as Miss Clavel..."In the middle of the night, Miss Clavel turned on the light and said, 'Something is not right'". Why would a nun be referred to as "Miss"? Perhaps there is no basis for this title and he just thought it sounded cuter than say, Sister Aloysius or Sister Mary Fiacre? The fact that I'm thinking about a nun in a children's story at 1am is another matter altogether.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224080040785208938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-46035190430341249752008-11-03T12:58:00.000-08:002008-11-03T12:58:00.000-08:00Happy Halloween, Sister!
