Yeah, I'm thinking that her deciding to text you was the trigger. Spooky mom of Tep!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am proxy house hunter. All of the nosiness. And house porn.
I may have tabs open on my computer with items in shopping carts for a house I have not seen in person and most certainly have not made an offer on - and oh yeah it's 6 months before I was planning on making an offer.
I'm sure I'll have great dreams tonight. Yep sure sure.
grandparent names are wild y'all. A friend just became a grandmother and the names are:
Paternal Grandmother - GiGi (I have never heard of this for anything but Great Grandmothers)
Paternal Grandfather - BooPaw
Paternal Great Grandmother - Grams
Paternal Great Grandfather - PawPaw
Maternal Great Grandmother - MeeMaw
Maternal Great Grandfather - unknown
Maternal Grandparents - also unknown, but I have asked.
I should give some thought to that! I'll likely be a grandmother sometime in the next couple years.
We are so boring about that in my family. My grandparents were just Grandma, Grandpa, and Babushka, and my niecephews call my parents Grandma Shirley and Grandpa Igor to distinguish them from their other grandparents. My great grandmother was called, you guessed it, Great Grandma.
When my basically next generation cousin was born Grandma decided she wanted to be called Nana and it was very confusing for me.
Yep I had Grandma/Grandpa and Grandmommy/Granddaddy. My parents both went the way of their parents so mac has a Grandma and a Granddad.
My Grandma became GG for her great-grands.
I think should I ever have grandchildren, I'll be Grandma Rebecca.
Ok just found out the Maternal Grandparents in that family are - Pops and Noni.
Not a Grandma in the bunch.
I know this is just bringing my own stuff to other situations, but my first experience with a Granparent not have a "grand" name was the grandmother of my cousins, the one we do not share. She famously announced that she was "too young to be a Grandmother" (nevermind that she became a mother before 18) so she went by Mommo. They were Mommo and Daddo. And while Daddo was a dear sweet man, Mommo was a spiteful parent and grandparent who chose favorite and was demanding and passive aggressive. So I always wonder what is behind people's choices. Of course usually it is just a family thing they are carrying on and not at all anything connected to my psychoanalyzing.
BooPaw is awesome.
My parents are Bubbe and PaBill (how 2 year-old Dylan said Grandpa Bill). Still wish we could have talked him into Zayde, but oh well.
BooPaw is definitely excellent. For a little while, S's dad was PeaPa, when Sara was really little. But they were always Grandma and Grandpa otherwise. My parents are Nana and Pappy.
My grands were MomMom and PopPop and Mimi and Goggie (courtesy of first grandchild, me).
