How many Godparents do you have?

I did have 3 - one godfather and two godmothers. We haven't heard from my godfather for months so let's discount him. None are relations, just family friends. I'm close to one of my godmothers, who has a daughter who's 2 who I love going to visit and stuff :)
 
Wow, you're a godmother?!
Is this in the true religious traditional sense, or "just" to become as though part of the family?
 
I had two godfathers and two godmothers.
Now I have one of each.

One godmother died, and one godfather disappeared off the face of the Earth ...
As you do ... :p:
 
It's fairly religious... I wouldn't say either of our families were really strict at all, but we'd consider ourselves Christian I should think :) Although it is nice to become part of the family... scary that I get to be left responsible for her occasionally though! :)
EDIT: and she is already four and half, so I was a Godmother before I hit my teens!.. everyone thought I was a very young mother :)
 
Not many of them realise until I can't meet up because I'm babysitting or they see the photos :) Then, because most of my friends have only known my a year or so, they decide I had a child very young and gave it to another family :p: Godparents get the best role - you can be the cool aunty or uncle, who lets them do stuff they shouldn't, and give them sweets and take them out, but without all the less appealing roles :cool:
Aww working for a children's charity must be so fun! That's like having lots and lots of godchildren! :D
 
Two but one of them died when I was a baby. "Godparent" doesn't seem to have any meaning in my family though, it's just a title really.
 
Oh wow, most of your friends have only known you for a year-or-so ... Could it be that you also changed where you go to for sixth form? I hope this is one of those moments when you discover lots of amazing coincidences! :)
Woo, yeah, the children's charity is brilliant! :D I would practically force you to come along, but I assume you live very far away ...
Hehe, it's funny, I'm like the uncle to all the kids around our way. They all play out together, and generally annoy the neighbourhood, and sometimes I join in too - great fun! XD
 
Awww! :) There's nothing like being a big kid!
And yeh.. I moved for sixth form. Stayed in contact with my old friends, but the majority of people I see now are from my new college :)
 
Yessss!
I couldn't agree more! :)
Oh I still do all kinds of "childish" things like going on adventure playgrounds and splashing in brooks ...
It's great though because no-one would believe me, even if I told them I did that, because seem to I have a very mature air about me to those who don't truly know me. :D

Ohh I love all my old friends, still keep in contact with them all via facebook, and in real life. I see quite a number of those who live in the same parish regularly because of things like choir-singing and church-going ...
Yet because I travel quite far for my new sixth-form, I only really see people there during term time, school hours.
Do you live fairly close to your new sixth-form then?

Last term, on the final day of school, I was just shoved into a random classroom by my "Head of Hall", and had to entertain the class for the first part of the morning: took me a bit by surprise!
You have to love Y7/8s though ...
Godparent-ness en-masse!
