The boys and I went to their first Ash Wednesday service last night. I explained to them before we got there what would happen and told them that Father Chris would put a cross with ashes on their heads.
After receiving our ashes, William looked around at everyone. He looked kind of sad, so I asked what was wrong.
"Why is it so small?" he said.
"Why is what so small?" I asked.
"The cross! I thought it would be bigger!" he said.
"Well, your forehead is only so big, so they just put a small cross there," I explain.
"Well, he could have gone down my nose!" William told me.
