grannie cheechee

Just Barb, you now know two CheeChees. As long as I can remember I've been CheeChee. My brothers and one and lonely cousin still call me that. That is why I think the grands and great-grands picked it up. They will call you what-ever they can say. You just hope its something nice. LOL

My mother thought she was too young to be a grandma so she became
"Honey" because that's what the first grandchild always heard my dad
call her.

When my DD and DSIL were expecting my grandson, my DD and I talked about what I would be called. I didn't really feel like a "Grandma", which is what my grandmothers and my DD's grandmothers were called. We're Heinz-variety when it comes to ethnicity. We finally settled on "Ama" (just sort of made it up). I spent a lot of time staying with them to take care of my DGS while they both worked, so "Ama" turned out to be just a shortened "Mama". He turned out to have a speech problem, so "Ama" was much easier for him to wrap his mouth around, too. One of his speech pathologists had a real problem with his calling me "Ama" and insisted that she could teach him to say "Grandma". He told her that he could say "Grandma" just fine, but that I was his "Ama". I just smiled! He also has a "Grandma" (step-grandmother) and a "Nana". Both his grandfathers are "Papa" followed by their first names.

My sister's grand kids call her Chickey. I think that's the cutest yet.

My grandkids call me Grandma; the 2 other grannies are called Grandmommy and Mimi

My son (49) called my Mom Golly - she used to sing Hello Dolly to him and somehow it all combined to Golly.
He wanted me to be called gollytoo by his kids - I being stupidly stubborn said no.
Notice I use Golly for everything else now.

Mine call me either Grandma, grammy or gram gram. I just don't want to be called Nana! No offense meant to those who are called Nana.

Congratulations! Mine call me grandma and it doesn't make me feel old, it makes me feel loved. I wear it with pride.
