THE GRANDMA NAME GAME....HAVE YOU PICKED YOUR MONIKER YET?

I WILL NOT ANSWER TO MEE-MAH!!!

My sarcastic, hilariously funny first born told me decades ago that
when he had children, he would tell them to call me Mee-Mah. This is
a major threat . I take this as seriously as global warming and the government
spying on my cell phone. Whaaaat!!!! I'm no Mee-mah. I still like the
feel of the wind whipping my hair in a convertible and I can still grove a
move or to on the dance floor.  OMG this is a big big threat.

So to pull a fast one on him and get prepared for the inevitable I decided I
would name myself. Hey, I work in tv. I'm creative. I checked around with
lots of other people and apparently I'm not alone. My sister in law hit a
home run straight away when her granddaughters started calling her cha-cha...
sounds alomost like Zsa Zsa, as in  Gabor. Not bad.  My sisters step grandkids
call her Granny B. I see a rap song with that one Then I found out Kim
Kardashians mom, Kris,  decided she would be called "lovey. Of course she did.

It's funny really. A good friend Terri, decided she would be Bon-Bon. Who
wouldn't love that!! Then there's Happy, and Bebe, and Momo and Mamma Jamma
( I think that's one of my aerobic songs), Momsy, Noni, Snuggums and Honey
are also Grandma names.

Of course there's the traditional way to go. My mum is English ...so it's Nana. Then
there's Abuela, Grandmere, Nonna and a hosts of names that proudly display the
families ethnic background. Then there's the hip way to go.

Sometimes things can go downhill fast ,though. Take for example my othe sister-in-law
and her partner Katrina.  They wanted their granddaughters to call the Sitti (Lebanese
word for Grandmother) and CoCo . The son quickly pointed out that the kids would
probably end up calling them Shitty and Caca. I crack up everytime  I think of that one.

Maybe I'm a little premature. I am way into Grandma age...but not one of my kids is
even dating anyone that seriously. It is a parade of grifriends and boyfriends. I have
stopped getting too attached. Relationships don't always work out and my heart is
broken once again. LOL.

I've put my name on reserve (just in case). It's top secret. And truthfully when it comes
down to it, it probably won't even matter what they call you. But just in case
Mee-Mah is off the table.

What's your Grandma name???
