A Future Monk?

Sitting on my lap during Mass, looking at the ashes on my forehead...

BigBoy:(whispering) Can I wipe?

Me: No.

BigBoy: (beat) Can I wipe it?

Me: No.

BigBoy: Can I wipe it now?

Me: No.


(pause)


BigBoy:(looking at Shortcake) Can I wipe it that one?

I'm pretty sure he was thinking... you'll thank me later!
