So while I was at the reunion last Saturday I was thinking about how a lot of people have interesting names for their grandparents, as one of my aunt's grandkids call her "Honeybunch." (Actually, almost everyone does, I think our family's kind of the exception for calling her Aunt Doreen.) She's not an anomoly - before Mom passed, my nieces and nephews called her Mema (Little Roy couldn't pronounce "G-ma"), my aunt's grandkids call my aunt "Noonie" and my Mom's grandmother was known as "Nonnie" to the whole family. (My own grandmother on that side was just "Grandma Ruth.")

I don't think we were as creative with the grandfathers. The aforementioned nieces and nephews call Dad "Granddad." My own were dead long before I showed up.

What did/do y'all call your grandparents?
