I took this quick picture outside of church this morning. This was the conversation we had before the pic.
Jackson, "Mommy, why do you have dust on your forehead?"
Me: "It's not dust, it's ashes. You have it on your head too. Father John put it there to remind us to be like Jesus."
Jackson: "Oh, I need to wipe it off because it's dirty."
Me: "No, don't touch it... it'll come off by itself. Let me take a picture of it to show Daddy because it probably won't be there when he gets off work later."
A few hours later, he looked in the mirror and noticed that the ashes were gone.
Jackson: "Momma...momma!! You were right! The dust did come off by itself! It's not on my forehead anymore! How did you know it would come off?"
Me: "Because I'm your mommy. I know a lot of things."
Jackson: "Oooh..."
This made me smile. So sweet :)
