Oh good lord... terrible but...

Not nearly as bad as my FIL and his wife: Pap-paw and Mee-maw.  

Seriously??  I'm the one from the south, and my parents aren't doing freaky redneck names!!! 

Can I please go and heave-haw?

my husband and i only have grandma's and grandpa's- but my parents tell me they want to be "Mama" and "Papa." Luckily I live far away so they will be whatever I call them to the kid!

Thinking about this boy in my womb getting a girl knocked up and me being 50+ and being a grandmother... too much, my brain just leaked out my ear.

Gran and Papa. That's what I want us to be.

But I'll focus on bring mum for now.

My best friend's daughter has a Nana and a Gran-dude!  Grand-dude was shortened to DooDoo!

My grandmother was constantly battling with my sister and I over her "name." We called both sides Grandma and Grandpa, but she insisted that it was Gram and Grumpy.  Never happened!
