Wow!
Two friends of mine (the husband is a law school classmate) just asked me to be godfather to their child, who will be born in about a month. I’m so excited! I’ve never been asked to do this before! I always thought a godfather was supposed to be the “best friend from back home” kind of person, and they picked…me!
I wanted to share. I wish y’all could see how much I’m glowing right now.
Congratulations! I’m the godmother (not the fairy type) of two of my nieces.

Congrats Res 
Thats very cool of them to ask you.
Make sure you don’t forget the kids birthday though - its very hard to explain your way out of.
Yes, I suddenly realize that my Christmas/birthday/baptismal anniversary card list has suddenly grown. And I never have time to write Christmas cards (exams are just before Christmas, natch).
But hey, I get to make all kinds of Vito Corleone jokes now.
Don, I come upon you with a favour. On this joyful day, the wedding of your daughter, I must ask you te help me in what is a rather delica…
Oh.
Well, congrats, anyway!
That’s wonderful!!! And a nice honor.
You know, we picked nice Catholic godparents for our son, even though we’re not Catholics. We figgered they’d get the religious-life job done if we met our ends in a fiery collision sometime.
