Later during the Consecration I alternated resting my folded hands on my forehead and my chin.
At the Sign of Peace my hubby started snickering at me. I had smeared the ashes from my forehead onto my gloves and then onto my chin. He said it looked like a beard.
Yeah, good way to start Lent - total humiliation!!!!!
Luckily I was wearing a scarf so I cleaned off the "beard." The people behind us were snickering too.
Never again. NO more gloves at Mass!
You can label this: this could only happen to me or the Carolina Cannonball.
