Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh, and my one little cousin called his great grandmother "Grammamommy" since she was his Gramma's Mommy.

Grandpa and Grandma for me (although maternal grandmother was Gramma because that's how she spelled it, not how I said it).
Oh, Father's Day--I have to get stuff! I'm debating if I want to splurge and pick him up some Omaha Steaks, which he would love.

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

My sons call their moms "Mom" and "Momma" to differentiate them....

When we first started writing on cards we went with the "Gramma/Grampa" spellings because of pronounciation even though we knew "Grandma/Grandpa" were more correct.
We are from New Jersey, after all. We need to conserve the letter "D" whenever possible... we're saving them up for all those eliminated "T"s.
