What If We Asked Carla and Rafael?

Grandma Nena has booked the chapel, and the godparents have to be chosen. Bia wants Carla, Daniel wants Rafael, and Susan, from Chicago, wants Emily. Float an idea the gentle way, "what if we asked both of them", say what wouldn't be fair, "it wouldn't be fair on your sister", ask two friends to be godparents, and learn what a father and a godfather call each other from the day of the baptism.

L’HISTOIRE

Saturday the thirty-first of August, twenty thirty. Alice is almost nine months old, Bia is back from Sao Paulo, and on Monday Daniel flies to the Northeast again. At breakfast, news from the farm, Grandma Nena has spoken to the priest. At eleven, at Rafael's cafe on Sol Street, a question for Carla and Rafael. And at nine that night, on video, Susan has a candidate of her own. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
