My daughter is dual enrolled in a class at our local state flagship university. She went to class with ashes on her forehead. Just before class started, another student approached her and asked, “Are those ashes from Ash Wednesday on your forehead”? Dd replied, “Yes”. The student then said, “Well you might want to go to the bathroom real quick and wash them off before class starts” and walked away! Dd ignored the suggestion but was curious as to why she would say such a thing, but there was no opportunity to ask.
