[QUOTE="donna723, post: 335638, member: 1883"] My grandson is still too little to call me anything, but I have no problem with plain ol' 'Grandma'. And since I'm his only grandmother, they won't have to come up with two different things to call us. I'm not wild about "Grandma" either, but I can live with it. I hate it though when it is used as a disrespectful, generic term for an older woman! I am NOT "a" grandma - but I AM Ethan's grandma! And no offense to anyone but when I hear "Granny ...", my mind immediately adds in "... Clampett"! And being a huge Disney fan, when I hear "Nana", I'm automatically getting a mental image of the St. Bernard in Peter Pan! And Janet is right ... they'll call you what they want to call you. My brother's three year old grandson calls his other grandmother, "Knock Knock"! It makes perfect sense if you know the story behind it ... [/QUOTE]
