Well, if you're looking for a rationale, the Wikipedia entry on Maria Rainer quotes her as saying she had a bad temper, so much so that she spent her wedding day angry at the Captain and God Himself for getting her into this situation when her real desire in life was to be a nun. And, by the very high standards of a religious, Maria does have her flaws: she's disobedient and headstrong. She's been at the Trapp house barely five minutes before starting an argument with her employer. It's not unreasonable to think that these traits were part of Maria's personality as a child, and she's remembering, say, getting in fights with other children, disobeying at school, that sort of thing. Again, by the standards a nun holds herself to, these things might seem "wicked."
