grandparents

Have you ever wondered how some people get their 'grandparent' name? I think it's quite interesting. I love it! I have a Meemaw, GranBob, Grandpa and Meme...which are all pretty normal. TJ (my dad's mom) wanted to be TJ-her initials-because she was way too young to be a grandmother! :) Goose has a Grandmother and Granddad, which are normal. He also has a Big Joe and Little Jo. Yes, they were both named Jo(e) so, therefore, Big Joe and Little Jo came to light.

Now it's our parents turn to come up with names! How fun!! My mom was named by her nephew because he couldn't say Joyce. So now, Juice has stuck for her 'grandma' name. But I have to tell the story of how my dad got his name that he wants to be called by his grandbaby! That same nephew-Jett-was staying with my parents a few weekends ago. He had his pack-and-play bed in their room. He woke up one night and said, "Juice, I'm crying over here." She asked him why. He then said, "That dog is barking like a tiger." That dog barking like a tiger was my dad snoring! :) So, my dad now wants to be named Tiger! I love it!

Goose's parents are going to have to come up with names on their own because there aren't any little kids around to 'name' them. I love random names and I love 'normal' grandparent names...whatever they come up with will be great!

It really doesn't matter what they are all called, their grandbaby is going to love them like crazy! I saw a shirt the other day that was for a baby - "Who needs Santa when you've got grandparents?"
