Anna o' Brien / Glitter + Lazers / GlitterandLazers - Fat, drunk, consoomer attention whore who would rather eat and drink herself to death than endure a single negative emotion

I’m sure it’s what she does at home too. Fat Anna is not getting up at 4:00 to walk her dog for a sudden bathroom emergency or illness. She has no yard to even open the door and let the dog out. So if she even bothers to wake up, she thinks “I’ll get it in the morning” but more likely, doesn’t notice.

She started out long ago as a weight loss channel. She’s morphed, but the few who didn’t lose with her probably still watch. But reactors are proliferating and Anna is now in Gorlworld.

I def get the feeling Tracey got divorced. Hubby ain't around. The Gorls are watching the dog show and parades, not football.

All this “godson” “goddaughter” stuff-is this a Mormon thing? Does it have any true meaning, or is it something this unloved cow can say to make her feel better about never doing the deed and growing her own child?

When I was young, we called my parent’s close friends aunt and uncle and somehow understood they weren’t real aunts/uncles. Now my kids call my friends by their first names, no honorifics. In the south, I’ve heard that kids call adults Miss or Mister but have no idea how true it is.

Because I’m a heathen I know nothing about this godchild situation. I seem to remember that in some church (Mormon?) you name a godparent who is supposed to be responsible for religious instruction (although I don’t know why parents aren't doing that?). We know Anna isn’t giving religious instruction. Other than that, I really don’t understand the meaning.

Of course Anna is amused by farts. All deathfat cows are. And I thought she finished the jackets she was wearing to the Swift concert. Can you imagine being 40 years old and fussing about what you are going to wear to a Taylor Swift concert filled with screaming teens? Earplugs is all I’d plan.

(Gotta go put the turkey in, Happy Thanksgiving to all Amerimutts. Be very thankful today you are not Anna.)

Godparents stand up at the altar with the parents at the baby's Baptism/Christening, and promise to take care of the child if anything should happen to their parents.

I think you are thinking of Catholics because godparents are supposed to contribute to fostering the faith in their godkids and are required to have received Catholic sacraments and actively practice in order to take part in the Baptism. a brief google mostly shows Mormons discussing this in relation to Catholicism not as a Mormon tradition .

It’s so kind of Anna’s debilitating illness to end its flair up just in time for her to travel for Thanksgiving feasting
 
Mormons categorically do not do the godparent thing, not even colloquially (like saying heaven and hell, because everyone does, even though they have a different afterlife setup). There's no christening, and baptisms don't happen until the child is at least eight years old. But they do get secret names when they're old enough! I'm sure Anna has one.
 
The idea of a secular "godparent" make zero sense. It has no meaning in legal matters or child custody, of course, and "God" is right in the name for a reason. It's supposed to be a religious guidance thing in certain Christian denominations.

It's also falling out of favor among many denominations that used to take it seriously. It's hopelessly old fashioned and very "Who should I marry, Aunt Smith?!" in the year 1920.

Not anymore. But it used to be very common up until maybe 20 yrs ago, then slowly tailed off as the South became less formal. I just hope it doesn't get replaced by "Bro" or "Brah" now that kids get their slang from Tiktok.
promise to take care of the child if anything should happen to their parents.
My Godmother thought this and would pull me aside at family events to tell me she'd take me back to her house, half way across the country, if "something should happen to your mother". She was always fucking crazy, LMAO.
 
The secular meaning of "God parent" is who would take the kids should the parents die, and it's pretty widespread. Or it used to be. Unless you do some paperwork to designate a guardian, it's not legally anything. I think you probably see it more on sitcoms these days than IRL. But I bet some people still use it as shorthand when having those conversations about actually designating a guardian.

In any case, I think it's weirder for a Mormon to say it than a non-religious secular person. But I also don't know how entrenched in Mormonism Anna was.

I'm sure Anna is not the legal designated guardian should those children need it. I feel like she's just misusing the term. It's the children of somebody she's close to, and maybe she FEELS like she would take care of them if their folks died, but I doubt she's actually been asked to make that promise.

The question is, was she told she could be a godmother by the actual mother, even jokingly or as a sign of affection, or did she just start calling herself that?

Because if it's the latter, that's super weird.

I want a secret name! How do I get one?

Yeah, I've definitely heard the term used in this way - either as a formal commitment, or more colloquially as a kind of informal agreement for close friends who don't have immediate family. I'm sure some people - and a dumbass with precious few social connections like Anna is a prime candidate - use it as indicative of little more than "children of someone who still talks to me".

I love hate-watching garbage TV, so I'll cop to watching a bunch of the Real Housewives universe. My pre-existing knowledge of Mormonism is basically zero, but the Salt Lake City coven immediately have a level of insufferability to them that is quite unique. I remember wondering if this was anything like the people Anna grew up around - I don't know how wealthy papa O'Briens crowd were/are. They have that super annoying, fake-positive-but-visibly-seething-might-snap-any-second-now passive aggression you normally find among terminally repressed religious women. It stands out, even amidst a franchise dedicated exclusively to documenting various flocks of vapid, emotionally dysregulated, alcoholic MechaKarens.

My point being, if these... organisms, are anything like who Anna grew up around... well, it certainly explains a few things. Let's put it that way.
 
Some people merely name a godparent as a honorific to show they trust and respect that person.
