The Kid Gets Dunked

T-Bear and Monkey are a little confused as to the exact purpose of this whole baptism thing, but Dork Boy, The Wife and the grandparents seemed to feel it was a fairly big deal. Or at least they made the kid wear a fairly spectacular outfit that was some sort satiny papal robe get-up.

Then there was a ceremony with a pool thing, some annointing of oils, pouring of waters, and rejecting of satan. The Kid found the whole thing not nearly as exciting as his typical bath, or at least a whole lot drier and did absolutely no fussing. While The Kid was perfectly happy, T-Bear and Monkey weren't completely sure how the priest man felt about the kids snazzy red shoes.

Anyway, as part of this dunking process Dork Boy and The Wife, had to select Godparents to be in charge of The Kid's spiritual upbringing. For some reason they selected, Fake Unc Lawyer Boy and Fake Aunt Brooke Anne. T Bear And Monkey may not know the most about religion, but relying on lawyers for spiritual matters seems a doubtful proposition. However, The Kid does seem fond of them.
