It was sad. I like my grands to call me by my last name with a y on the end. But I know my husband would love to be called Dude. My kids called their grandparents maw maw and paw paw for mine and Mamma Ann and Granddaddy for husbands. Seems to me this is a matter of choice. I sort of like Grannie, that is what I called mine. But Grandmother does have a nice forbidding stately ring {and might scare the kids so they don't dare mess up the house}

I call my Aunt 'Granny' and 'Grandma' all the time. Why not? The kids all call her that, and she's such a nice and spry and sometimes mean ol' Grandma that I get a kick out of it. I can't call her 'Auntie' can I?
