Guest Andrea Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I think it's interesting what some people call them. I've heard everything from Mee-Mee and Pa to Granny or Nana to Paps or Grandaddy. I called my Dad's parents Mam Maw and Paw Paw. And my mother's parents Paw Paw and Granny-Maw. :rolleyes: ( I was the eldest grandchild and could not pronounce Grandma....every child since has called her Granny Maw cause of me, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad's parents are/were Granny and Grandpaw Read Granny is still alive but Grandpa Read went on to be with the Lord back in 98. As did Grandmaw and Grandpaw back in 94 and 95. Grandpaw Read's dad was Grandaddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Cool. A little culture lesson here. On my dad's side, we called our grandma Babcia; pronounced "bop-chee." Grandpa was DziaDio; pronounced "Ja-ja." My dad's parents came over on the boat and entered the country through Ellis Island by way of Poland. My mom's side was plain ol' grandma and grandpa, but my grandfather died before I was born. For my kids they call my dad Ja-ja. For my wife's side they call my father in law "grampa-D" and "grammy-D." They call my wife's mom "grandma." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. I called my grandmothers, grandma and that was it. They were never around us at the same time, so I didn't have to call them different names! I still miss my Grandma Josie. She was a great person!
