It's that time of the year again, boys and girls. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about Lent. You know, when all the Catholics count down to Jesus's Resurrection and do all sorts of crazy things during the forty day period. This means another Lenten promise to fulfill and meatless Fridays, but we do it all for the Big Man above and His son because of how much they have done for us.

But even as thankful as we are to be loved by someone so much that he sacrificed his life for us, we still have the same thoughts during Lent. Let's be real here, we're all human. And so, the process begins:

1. I can eat as horrible as I want because it's Fat Tuesday.

But what is my excuse every other day?

2. What the heck am I going to give up?

Chocolate? Potatoes? How long do we have to do this for?

3. Or maybe I’ll do something good every day instead of giving something up.

You know, like chores or something.

4. Here we go, day one of forty.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

5. My ashes don’t even look like a cross.

I literally have a black dot on my forehead.

6. I hope people don't look at me weird with this black stuff on my forehead.

I promise it's not dirt. Stop staring, people.

7. Can we order a cheese pizza? It's Friday so I can't eat meat.

I'll just have to take the pepperoni's off I guess.

8. I get it, you CAN eat meat on Fridays.

Please, stop rubbing it in. It's already hard enough.

9. So why are we able to eat fish on Fridays?

Fish were alive once, too? It's pretty much like meat.

10. Sunday morning church has me feeling some type of way.

PREACH.

11. Which also means “Cheat Day”

I need to eat all the potatoes and I can today... in every form of potato.

12. But, should I actually cheat on my Lenten promise on Sundays?

My mom thinks I'm too old to cheat on Sundays. I still will, though.

13. How many days are left of Lent?

Why are these forty days taking so long?

14. I think I’m supposed to pray the Stations of the Cross sometime.

I forgot to do that. Maybe next year.

15. Oh crap. I accidentally ate chocolate.

It's not even a cheat day. I feel guilty.

16. One week left of Lent. Will I make it?

We get those cool palm things at church today, so that's cool.

17. It's Holy Thursday. Whatever that means.

There are so many holy days. I can't keep them straight.

18. Good Friday? Jesus was Crucified on this day, how is that good?

More like bad Friday? I'm confused, too.

19. Holy Saturday…that means the lonnnng Easter Vigil Mass.

"If I doze off, just nudge me."

20. But, I think we get to light a candle or something.

Or at least hold one, if I remember correctly.

21. Jesus is about to resurrect soon, I can feel it.

We know you're about to, we do this every year.

22. Thank goodness, it's finally Easter.

Which also means Lent is officially over.

23. Jesus has resurrected from the dead. Hallelujah!

This day is for you, Jesus!

24. I can’t wait to eat chocolate without feeling guilty.

I did pretty good for forty days, so I deserve this.

25. Wait, I should probably find my Easter basket first.

I'll find it. And then I'll eat all the candy in it.
