...your child so much love that you're choosing a dude from your freshman dorm as a godparent instead of them. Which is why experts suggest you do it through a humor column in the back of a magazine. But we chose demographics over love. The Wus went to similar colleges, had similar jobs and do similar things with their time. Despite genetics and the 18 years we spent together, our family is less like us than the people we choose to associate with.
