My in-laws' first grandkids called them Mimi and Poppy. Mimi I was okay with, but Lewis and I drew the line at Poppy (turns out he didn't much care for it either). So our kids call him Grandpa.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We called our grandfathers "Grampa."

Both of our sets were Gramma and Grampa.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We called one Grandpa John and the other Grampy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know why I can barely hear it in my head! I go straight to Grampy, for whatever reason. FTR, my grandfathers: Gramps and Granddad. My Granddad was called Gramps by his other grandchildren.

Oh, and my one little cousin called his great grandmother "Grammamommy" since she was his Gramma's Mommy.
