On his next visit, Father Dan was walking down the corridor when he passed Sister Ann\u2026 but this time, he stopped mid-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From behind a half-open door came a sound that definitely wasn\u2019t\u2026 gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a baby crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Dan froze. Slowly, very slowly, he turned his head toward the room. The crying got louder. Then came soft shushing sounds\u2014Sister Ann\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now completely confused, he knocked gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSister Ann\u2026 is everything alright in there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A brief pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the door creaked open just a little, and Sister Ann peeked out, looking unusually flustered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, Father Dan\u2026 yes, everything is perfectly fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another loud cry echoed from inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Dan raised an eyebrow. \u201cThat\u2026 doesn\u2019t sound like gas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sister Ann hesitated, then sighed. \u201cAlright, Father\u2026 you\u2019d better come in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stepped inside\u2014and there, wrapped in a blanket, was a tiny baby lying in a basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Dan blinked. Once. Twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSister Ann\u2026\u201d he said slowly, \u201cwould you care to explain?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She clasped her hands together nervously. \u201cWell, Father\u2026 remember how I kept saying it was just gas?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes\u2026\u201d he said cautiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She nodded toward the baby. \u201cWell\u2026 it finally passed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Dan stared at her in silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and muttered, \u201cThat is the most\u2026 remarkable<\/em> case of gas I have ever heard of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that exact moment, the baby let out another loud cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Father Dan looked at Sister Ann and said dryly, \u201cYou might want to keep an eye on that\u2026 in case it happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On his next visit, Father Dan was walking down the corridor when he passed Sister Ann\u2026 but this time, he…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16882,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16881"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16883,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16881\/revisions\/16883"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
