I am the Godfather
**start really bad impersonation of the Godfather**
So here's the deal...
Felecia is pregnant; her and Patrick want me to be the godfather.
I am honored and of course I told her I would. Now I can train the little devil to do my bidding. Felecia is worried that I'm going to teach the kid bad habits and how to be mean. Me? Ridiculous.
The very next day Sarah sends me an IM saying that her sister wants me to be the godfather of her kid. Now 2 in 2 days is bizarre. I'm a little concerned because I'm not close at all with Sarah's sister, unlike Felecia (bffs since 7th grade.... yes i typed bff), and also with how unstable her sister can be at times, I worry what that'll do to me. Cameron says that being a godparent merely means you gotta send gifts at holidays and birthdays and if anything happens to the blood relatives I would be given custody of the child, but to me it means more. Being a godfather, to me, means that I have to be there for the kid no matter what. For instance, this Honor's Day I'm getting a special award... not some run-of-the-mill-everyone-gets-one award, but one that I was nominated for and won. Will there be anyone there at Honor's Day to share in the joyous occasion? Nope. Mom's working, Cameron won't take off (he really can't afford to miss a day), and Stephanie is probably working. The three biggest people in my life and they won't be there. This isn't like the scholarship I won (out of pity basically) or the Dean's list (which I'm still not sure how I got it since my GPA wasn't 3.3 or above when I got it) which everyone else gets too... those I wouldn't have cared. To me those really meant nothing. Meh.
Anyway... I digress, being a godfather to me actually instills responsibility. I'm not sure about having 2 godchildren... especially so soon in life. I already told Felecia yes... so now I need to really really really think over Kristen's request.
**end god-awful Godfather impersonation**
