Jesus, Now Peanut Free!
(It is Ash Wednesday and we have kids from next door come over for Mass in the morning. I’m serving as a communion minister as the kids start to come up. One little guy comes up right away and just stands there with his hands at his sides looking at me.)
Me: “Do you take communion yet?”
Boy: “Do those have peanuts?”
Me: “?”
Boy: “‘Cause I can’t have peanuts.”
Me: “No peanuts here, but have you had communion yet?”
Boy: “I don’t think I should, just in case there’s peanuts. I can’t have any.”
Me: “How about we just give you a blessing, then?”
(I make the sign of a cross on his forehead and give him a blessing.)
Boy: “Thanks, maybe next time there won’t be any peanuts. I can’t have those.”
(I wonder if we should make up a “Jesus – Now Peanut Free!” sign, just in case.)
