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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Congrats, Glam!
Happy Birthday, askye!
My grandparents were Grandma/Grandpa [first name] except for my paternal grandmother who was just Mom. I was the first grandkid and that's just what I heard other people call her. People other than her kids called her Toots. My great grandmother was Gammy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sara, holler back about the email. I'm wondering if I'm shooting them off into the ether.

Gram was just Gram. The other two grandparents were Granny Mother's Maiden Name and Grandpa Mother's Maiden Name.
Lillian has Grandma and Grandpa for my in-laws, and Granny and Grampy for my parents. They get the twee ones on account of being older.

My dad's parents' were Nanny and Grandad. My mother's parents were Kit and Joe, their names. I don't know why that was, all their grandkids called them by their first name.

I got the gmail one! I thought I'd replied to it.
Steph, I'm not Perkins, but I'm guessing swedish or similar (so it could be Norwegian) because dad's Mormor was his mother's mother (and Pomps was his morfar, but not called that.) He never knew his paternal grandparents. My grandfather didn't keep much in touch once he immigrated.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It horrifies me that the Jonas brothers have a TV show.
