At one time I was looking at joining a monastery (Catholic) and when I first arrived the priest in charge asked me, "what do you want?"

I said I wanted to become a monk and join a monastery.

He said, "no"... "what do you want?"

So I repeated that I wanted to be a Monk.

He said that's not what I really want.

I said "yes, that's what I want... I really want to be a Monk"
