On this, the day of my goddaughters' baptism....

  • Me: Just so you know, James and I have been making godfather movie jokes since you asked us and there are no signs of it slowing down.
  • Ellie's Mommy: Awesome. I want a "best of the godfather jokes" asap
  • Me: It was more like bad impressions while he was trying on his [new] suit. Also, after the ceremony, we want to take a picture of me kissing his "ring" finger while holding Ellie. To frame and put on our living room wall.
  • Ellie's Mommy: done.
  • Me: I have to say that I am INCREDIBLY flattered that you think so highly of us that you think we are responsible enough to be this close to Ellie's life. Above your other family, friends.
  • Ellie's Mommy: it's because you guys deserve it and we love you so much and you love our daughter so much.
