I have 5 grandmas. 3 Greats and 2 regulars. Its a virtual grandmapalooza! Here are pictures of me with each of them. (Just so you know, they are in no particular order.) Great-Grandma: Marjorie Bandy Great-Grandma: Peggy Silvey Great-Grandma; Sue Murray Grandma: Marsha Beach Grandma: Kathryn Boone Here’s the thing: what to call them? This all started before I was even born (according to Mommy). The grandmas started talking about what they wanted me to call them. Apparently this is a big deal! First, my Daddy’s mom brought up the fact that she needed to decide what I would call her, which made my Mommy’s mom start thinking about it too. There have been lots and lots of names talked about by the actual grandmas and Mommy and Daddy too. There was Boba, Granny, Gran, Gram, Grammy, Nanny, Nanna, Marmie, Marshmallow, plain old Grandma, Oma, MeeMaw, G-Money, and the list goes on. Of course Daddy is opposed to “cutesie” names in general, so he’s no help at all. Finally some decisions had to be made. My Daddy’s grandma was the first to decide on Grammy. Then Daddy’s mom decided on Nanny. Mommy’s grandma has always been and will always be Grandma Sue - even kids who aren’t her grandchildren call her that. Grandma Bandy has so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who call her Grandma Bandy that I think that’s going to stick. Mommy picked Oma for her mom, but that got tossed almost immediately. So, I guess that she’s the only one who hasn’t decided on a name for herself. I’m still waiting for her final weigh-in. I’m not sure how all this is going to turn out, we’ll just have to wait and see. (Don’t tell anyone, but I think I’m just going to pick out my own names for them anyway!)
