I was at a family reunion and I learned that a cousin of of mine's grandchildren called her "Go-Mama"....don't you just love that? I'm highly interested in that because I am expecting my first grandchild.
To clarify, my daughter is expecting my first grandchild. Hubs has corrected me on this many times, yet I continue to say that I'm expecting a grandchild.....well, I AM expecting a grandchild, right???
Anyway, I digress, because isn't Go-Mama the cutest nickname? But since it's already taken, my little sweet-pea will have to think of something on her own. Whatever it is, will be JUST FINE. After all, my brother-in-law is happy with the name "Duh", which he was labeled after his oldest grandchild started that (we suspect derived from "Dad", but really, who knows?
My nickname since I was a child has been Boo and even my own children call me Boo. They contend that I long ago learned to block out the name "Mom" and quit answering to it. I deny this but they insist that it is true. Many of the teachers at the school where I am a principal call me Boo and most all of their children do. My husband calls me BooMama or sometimes BooMammy (the latter NOT being my preference!!) But I suspect my name will be some form of Boo or BooMama.
I love it when people have cool Granny names....
Some I have heard lately:
Honey
Missy
Mena
GiGi
and one I had never heard:
Mater
Well, enough rambling about this subject....I may not be Go-Mama....but I'm on the road again right now...after all, it's SUMMER!
Whatever your grand baby will call you it will be the greatest sound your ears will hear from now on. I would like my future grand babies to call me mama cat but my daughter thinks it is silly and told me that would not happen! I hope all is well at the home front. I miss all of the wonderful panhandle people. Give all the ones at Austin a hug for me when you see them. Cathy Jones
