What Do You Call Your Grandmother?
Raise
your hand if you know my grandson, Jace. There you go, I knew it. Jace calls me
‘MiMi’. I called my grandmother, “Mama Leona”. My children call my mama,
“Grandmom”. They call their daddy’s mama, “Mom”.
I
have a first cousin who lives around the corner. Her two grand-daughters call
her ‘Mee-Moah’ (I probably didn’t spell that correctly). But, that’s okay, I
think you get it.
My
oldest sister-in-law’s grandchildren call her ‘Momeee’. All of my cousins on my
Mama’s side of the family call my Mama, “Nanny”. She is not their grandmother,
but they call her Nanny anyway. All of their children and their children’s
children call her Nanny too. She is Nanny to many.
With
the introductions out of the way, let’s get down to business. What do or did
you call your grandmother? Are you a grandmother yourself? What do your
grandchildren call you?
This Is Not Just for
Women:
Are you a grandfather? What do your grandchildren call you?

ReplyDeleteGreat question! I called my Dad's Mom - Grandma, and my Mom's Mom - Nanny. My girls called my husband's Mom - Grandma and my Mom - Nanny and my Granddaughters call me Nanny and when my Mom was alive they called her Big Nanny which they thought of themselves to keep the two of us apart!
ReplyDeleteIt's been grandma and grandpa for all our generations. I've heard that in Texas they call grandmothers Meemaw. I saw that on the Big Bang Theory.
ReplyDeleteWe had a Portuguese upbringing so we called our grandmas avó and my grandpa avô (there is a slight difference in pronunciation. My niece who has a daughter, calls her grandma (my sister) vovodoo :) Have a wonderful weekend Leona. Stay blessed!
