When we found out our first grandchild was on the way, we wondered what we'd be "called." Nana? Poppy? Gram? Papa?
I remember my mother wondering the same thing when I was expecting our first. Imagine their amusement when Ben got his sounds mixed up and Grandma and Grandpa started off at "Muk-ga" and "Puk-ga." They eventually became "Grandma and Grandpa."
When our first two granddaughters came along, we became "Gamma and Gampa" --- and have evolved to "Gramma and Grampa." However, our grandson (the youngest) has dubbed us something new and unusual.
We are "Bubba and Bubba" --- and lately, just "Bub." It cracks me up to hear, "Hey Bub! What doing?"
The joy we find in the grandkids in always there... we're learning to read with one, working on enunsiation with another... and trying to keep all the names of different trucks straight with the third...
Not to mention the fashion statements we see with the girls... :)
Bub-hood is wonderful... LOVE IT!
