I've noticed that several of you never knew what to call grandparents who died before you were born. I never knew my mother's parents and to this day, I have to improvise when talking about them.

I was thinking about what I wrote about trying to get grandchildren to call you a name you like. My mother is the poster child for what not to do! She kept referring to herself as "decrepit old Granny" when my oldest niece was born, little realizing that my niece would pick up on it and name her that. My mother, who was only in her late forties then and looked a bunch younger (right, AGDAlum?) had really wanted some very cool and youthful grandparent name.

A word to the wise!
