I'm glad to be the one with the car.
This is too funny. My daughter's mother-in-law and I have the same first name so we could not be Grandma Cheryl. So when my grandson (he was the first) started referring to Grandma, Kim would ask, "which Grandma - Grandma with the Gator Van or Papa Richard's Grandma?" So, you guessed it, we became "Gator Van" (me) and Papa Richard's Grandma (her). I loved my name and she disliked hers. She kept saying I am not Richard's grandma (Richard being her husband). Of course, we all laughed at her, but you should have seen the looks when I had Shane with me in the stores and he called me Gator Van. It sounded like Grandma to me and I was so used to it that it surprised me when people asked what he had called me. Now he is 23 and he calls me Grandma. The rest call me G-Ma.
