It is Lent.
Oh, right. Forgot to mention that I'm Catholic.
For as long as I could remember, my mother would pick my sister and I up after school each Ash Wednesday as she’d usually do on any other day, and drive us to a local Catholic Church. Generally we would walk in and receive ashes. My sister and I would grin and make fun of the blobs of black that had been drawn on each other’s foreheads as my mother drove home.
