When I was just a little girl
Do you remember the song ‘When I was just a little girl I asked my mother ….?’ It is sometimes called ‘Que Sera sera’ and I think the singer was Doris Day. It is about a little girl enquiring of her mother about the future ‘Will I be pretty, will I be rich? ‘
I’ve just been watching a link with an elderly nun singing the same song. She apparently used to ask ‘Will I be bishop? Will I be pope?’ You can guess the answers she got - one line I remember from the video clip was ‘The future is for men to say.’ The sister concerned was young a very long time ago , but not a lot has changed as far as her church is concerned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Ub6WT-eWs&feature=share
