[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 335647, member: 1514"] LOL Donna. We tried mightily to get my boys to call my dad Grandpa. Billy just would have none of it and he named him Papa. Soooo...when Keyana came along we tried valiantly to get her to call Tony Grandpa. Again...none of it. He became Papa too. Now you can imagine how confusing this is! Fortunately she doesnt see my dad often enough that she gets the two of them confused and by the time she had to really learn names...she could call my dad Grampa and we got that straightened out. Now it is a problem because MY boys refer to my dad as Papa but also refer to Tony as Papa when talking to our grands...lmao. So it gets really really confusing if we are discussing both Papa's in one sentence. I really wanted to be called Memaw because I was scared to death that anything close to Grandma would get shortened to Grammy. Grammy was my mothers name. I want no part of anything to do with my mom! Now...well...Im used to Grandma and if they slipped and Grammy came out, I could deal with it. However, Keyana is pretty stuck on Grandma now and the oldest pretty much picks the name. [/QUOTE]
