I like the old custom of godparents. Neither of my parents were good carriers or teachers for me, and at age 15, I had the instinctive sense to go out and get myself a pair of godparents.
I opened the trunk in the back of the van and pulled the little girl out and then I took her away from the car and stood with her.
