4. I always worked on Wednesdays at the peds practice. Not being brought up Catholic, it always...

...took me aback to see so many parents and kids coming in with what looked like bruises on their foreheads until it would finally down on me, "Oh yeah, Ash Wednesday."

6. By the time families got to the office, the marks were just smudges...

...and didn't look like crosses or I'd have probably caught on more quickly.

8. Way back in High school

A friend asked me what I gave up for lent. I told her I was Baptist and we didn't have to give up anything, since everything was a sin all year long, lol.
