?


My mom's mom I call Nana.

My dad's mom I called Granny.

I never knew either biological grandfather, so I just call them Joe and Frank when I talk about them.

The man who married my dad's mom later I call Grandpa.

My Mother's parent raised me so I called them Momma and Daddy, I called my mother Sis that was her nickname. Called my Father Dr.Beck he was a dentist and not sweet and cuddly to say the least. Called his Mother Ms. Ollie.

I call both of my grandmothers Mama and I call my grandfather Papa. My other grandfather died before I was born, but I'm sure I would have called him Papa as well.

I only have one grandparent left but they were all grandma or grandpa, though it usually sounded more like "gram-maw" and "gram-paw".

My nieces and nephews call my dad "poppa". I think it's cute.

My father's parents were my Oma & Opa and my mom's mom was my Nana. Never knew my Mom's dad though...

My kids call their grandparents Oma & Opa... it's a German thing...

Um, dead?

They're all gone, but I call my grandmother on my Dad's side a piece of shit.

I only have one set alive.

It's

Granny and Grampa

Ditto.

They use to be my abuelo and abuela.

Same with my father's parents, and if the unspeakable happens, my dad and his wife would be Oma and Opa too.

Not really close with the rest, but they were all grandma/pa. My mom and her husband are referred to as "Nana" and "Papa" by their grandchildren already, so I'll probably just follow the herd there.

But @ reproducing.

I hope my one day grandchildren never call me granny, reminds me of the beverly hillbillies.

It's always Maw Maw and Paw Paw
I had so many grandmothers growing up that we had to put their names behind the maw maw... I only had a paw paw on my dad's side. And then their was
Maw Maw Dorita -grandma on my dad's side
Maw Maw Ursula -grandma on my mom's side
Maw Maw Boone (real name Enola)-great grandma on my mom's side
Maw Maw Mom (real name Michel-pronounced Me-Ky-Yel)-great great grandma on my mom's side


And get this...on my mom's side, we were all 5 generations of female first borns....I broke it by having a boy in 2002 (the sixth generation) but my great great grandma died in 2001. I waited to have kids. My cousin did make the 6th generation though, she had a boy in 2001, a few months before my great great grandma died.

My mom doesn't mind being called Maw Maw. My nephews call their grandma Maw Maw Brenda and it's soooo funny b/c they accentuate the Brrrrr. Too cute!

I never met my Grandparents...but Seyhan and my future grandbabies will call me Memaw! But you all knew that already!

I've never even seen that show before.

I think "granny" is a Scottish thing...?

Both my Grandmothers were dead when I was born and both my Grandfathers died when I was three.

But my daughters called my Mom Grandma and they call my Dad Grandpa. And they called my Mother-in-law Abuelita and they call my Father-in-law Abuelito.

JustErin said:

My Granny was called that even before she had any grandkids. No one seems to remember why, but even as a young woman in her town she was known as Granny Haugan.

Because of this long-standing nickname, her headstone reads Dorothy "Granny" Haugan.

You are to sweet!!!

JustErin said:

Granny, was what they called the the Grand mother in the show, and she looked like this:
That's why, I would not like to be thought of as "Granny"

CarrieLee said:
