[stylist] What am I saying?

[Chris Kuell]

Eve,

Because there is no punctuation, the sentence means that we have a 'guest 
sister', which can be considered an object (sister) with a modifier (guest), 
although I don't really know what the term means. I picture the head nun at 
a nunnery telling the other nuns, "We have a guest sister," meaning, a guest 
who is also a sister. Likewise, it could be at a meeting of African American 
women who speak that way. But, the sentence can only be interpreted this way 
due to the lack of punctuation. It's exactly like saying 'We have a wooden 
table', or, 'We have a blue thunderbird'.
