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.
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.
Yay for the Glambaby!
One set was Nana and Boppa and one was Meemaw and Granddaddy.
My dad is Bumpa to my niece and nephew.
Emeline calls my mom Grammie.
Lately, I have been calling my mother bitchface.
I just had Grandma and Grandpa. And I called my mother "Mother". And I still do, I guess, although I don't need to call her by name that often. She said she hated it when children said "mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy".
Congratulations, Glamcookie!
Happy birthday, askye!
My paternal grandparents were Gramma and Grandad. My maternal grandparents were Mammy and DeeDee. I don't know why, but I'm told I did it.
FarFar and FarMor for my father's parents, Granny and Grandpen for my mother's mother and stepfather.
Congratulations GC and wife! Verra exciting news.
I should be in a good mood. I went to Franny's kinder matriculation today and took Isaac and Franny on a field trip yesterday. There was much cuteness and singing and did I mention the cute? And yet my mood is grumpy with a side of foul.
Everything I've tried to finish up since coming back home hasn't worked. All of it user error of course. I am feeling utterly incompetent today. Plus yesterday I killed our microwave. Oy!
