Penguin RushGodfather...
Me: Do you think our baby may need a Godfather later on, especially if it's a he?
Wife: What do you mean by that?
Me: You know, it's not like having an adopted father or something, because adopted father in our culture can mean either by law, or just by relationship. But in English, Godfather is the more suitable term to describe the latter relationship.
Wife: And the reason for needing a Godfather?
Me: (Grinning) Well, you know, who's gonna teach him sports and stuffs, including things that I'm not fully knowledgable?
My wife pondered for a while before she continued...
Wife: If someone were to teach him sports, let's teach him these these 3 skills, as suggested by the prophet Muhammad pbuh. They are swimming, horse riding and archery.
Me: Hmmm....... in the past, those sports may be part of daily lives, but these days, they are costly to learn (thinking and remembering how I wanted to master the art of archery back then, to the extent that I actually joined the shooting club when I was in my university. By shooting, I mean, with the rifle, and not with bow and arrow since there was no archery club there, I think).
Wife: So.... do you have a candidate to fit in this.... Godfather role?
Me: Err..... not really.... (Grinning again, before we resumed eating).
It was an open-ended discussion. I guess the reason that something like that occurred to me was because, just like how the line in one TV sitcom goes:
"I always think how I'm going to have a baby, but I never realise how the baby is going to have.......... me."

akak sakit ati tollah...
akak td letak komen sket nye panjang pastu blogger ilangkan!!! eii panas tol ati aku tau
anw, abang has a godmom..but sucks nye godmom, x leh arap tol. she booked abang since he was in my tummy, every year she tried to be a very good godmom, but still fail!!
at the end, taun ni baru sekali je visit abang and she even forgot abang's bday!!!
that s y she cant take gegirl to be her another goddaugther due to her bad service as a godmom.
thats mar, my good buddy and godmom to abang!!!
nak clown godfather tak? hehehe
Alapak, ciannya Kak Red, letak komen panjang-panjang, pas tu saya tak dapat baca, sbb Blogger 'makan' tulisan Kak Red tu ya...
Isy isy, godmother abg tu dahlah teradvance book masa dalam tummy lagi, pas tu abaikan 'tanggungjawab' pulak, hehehe...
Memang betul bad service laa...
Jitut, clown godfather should be interesting... At least, he/she can cheer our baby up especially during occasions like besday, dapat no. 1 dalam kelas and stuffs.
Pas tu, mak bapak baby tu (me and wife laa ni) bole jugek pinjam brng2x clown godfather tu ya, buat main2x masa kat ghumah.. :))
the idea of having a godfather for ur baby is quite interesting, but i cannot commend much on that because i don't have any godfather yet;) may be i'll have one soon;) but if u really want to have a godfather for ur baby, make sure he is a good man, a caring and loving person, responsible enough to be entitled with that role and the one u feel safe to leave ur child with whenever u are not around.. may be u and ur wife can then have ur 2nd honeymoon, hahaha..
Hi Anne, so u r looking for a godfather too? Hmmm.. that could be difficult 'coz I don't think anybody would want to be a godfather of a grown up. You know, we don't want people to mistakenly think he's a sugar daddy now, do we? Hehe....
True, one of the benefits of having a godfather is so that me and wife can go for a 4th honeymoon (yep, I count every travel that we had together so far, as a honeymoon hehe)... With him around, maybe we can go for a time out every fortnightly la, hahaha..
