After Theophany liturgy, Los Angelos parishoner Soliman Boulos declined to go to his parents to eat the traditional ol’ass, claiming he was tired and needed sleep. His upset mother reminded him of the old saying of whoever does not eat ol’ass on the Theophany will wake up with out a head (it rhymes in arabic) He shrugged it off as he went to his apartment to sleep. His sleep was interrupted with countless nightmares of being headless. Gripped with this irrational fear, he raced to his parents still in his pajamas to get some ol’ass. His mother overjoyed to see him began to cook a full meal for him included the desperately desired ol’ass. His father disgustedly said to him “Be a man” and went back to sleep.
