A little thread hijack...
I know a lot of people call their grandfathers "Papa." I call my father "Papa" and, when I was younger, I thought it was weird when people called used that term for a grandparent. My mother is "Mom" though she calls her own mother "Mother."
All my friends knew my mother as "Ms. [First Name]" and my father as "Papa [First Name]." I've come to realize that it's a southern thing for children to call adults by their first name, but only when preceded by Ms., Mrs., Mr., or some other title.
I'd be interested to hear what people call/called their parents as well. New thread topic or could we just add on here?
