See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Fantastic news, Glam! Felicitations to you and DW!

Happy birthday, askye!

My brothers and I had a YiaYia and Papou and a Nana and Cappy; Emmett has Grandpa Jack and (? don't know what he calls EM's mom), and Grandpa Neal and Grandma Mary; Matilda has Grandpa Neal and Grandma Mary (Hec's lullaby to her includes a verse about them both watching her from above, so they are present to her even if unseen), and Nana and Papou.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had Gramma and Poppa (my mom's parents). I called my Great-grandmother Grandma and my dad's mom Grandma McVay.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

AWESOME NEWS, GC

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It occurs to me that what I've kind of thought of as "Puppa" among childhood friends must have been Papa, because that's how we said Papa Gino's, the pizza place. So Nana and Papa was pretty common, I guess...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Will those anti-stab knives be any good in keeping you from stabbing yourself? if so, I need some.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One set of grandparents was Grandma and Papa, the other set was Oma and Opa. Papa was supposed to be Grandpa, but when my sister, the oldest grandchild, was a toddler, the best she could make out of Grandma and Grandpa was Gaga and Papa. Grandma insisted on being Grandma, but Papa decided he liked being Papa rather than Grandpa.

My great-grandmother on my dad's side was Tick-Tock Oma. She was supposed to be whatever the German phrase for great-grandmother is, which is something Oma, where that "something" word literally means clock or time or something like that. Trying to explain "clock Oma" to her oldest great-granddaughter as a toddler, she decided on Tick-Tock Oma, which everyone thought was just adorable and kept on using.

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

Because books.

AWESOME, Glam! And baby's first photo shoot and everything!

My grandparents were the aforementioned Goggie and Mimi (her name is Mildred), and MomMom and PopPop. My great-grandmother was simply Gram Morgan (or just Gram) to pretty much everyone who knew her, related or not.

My kids call my parents Nana and Pappy, and S.'s parents Grandpa and Grandma. For a while Sara couldn't pronounce Grandpa, though, and it was either GeeGaw or PeePaw.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yay for the Glambaby!

One set was Nana and Boppa and one was Meemaw and Granddaddy.
