new stories

My mom's mother has always insisted on being called "grandmother", and I guess there is really nothing else left for Elise to call her because she already has a Nana, Mimi, and Grandma. So Grandmother it is. Except she cant actually pronounce grandmother. Instead of Grandmother it is "mam-mum-mer" which I think is about the funniest thing ever. I keep asking her who that is and pointing to grandmother just to hear her say it. If its not "mam-mum-mer" its "mam-mer" This totally reminds me of my cousin Chase when he was a little kid, sounds like something he would have said then. The way kids say things are hilarious. Like I remember when he was a little kid he said " bansty, bum ober here" (nancy, come over here) and my niece Alexandra when she was two had a song she sang which would help her learn her alphabet. It went like this " A, Aah, Alligator. B, Buh, bumble-bee. C, suh, Cat. But when she got to D, duh, dog she would say " D, duh, GAWG" lol which we all thought was hilarious and would ask her to sing constantly. IM sure as a 9 year old now she wouldn't find it funny but I still do. Anyways this has probably been the most random post ever. And I cant think of anything else to write at the moment so it must end here.

  1. Well ya know she could call her something like I call mine...Mama T (for grandmother Talitha). Everybody calls her that, even people who aren't family. :)

  2. Calling her anything other than Grandmother just doesn't illicit a response. My cousins from the other side were at my Grandmother's house one day and they asked her if they could call her Grandma. She turned to them and said, "No, but you can call me Grandmother."
