Grandpa
Well-known member
All you who are grandparents, I'm curious about your grandparent "name" and how you came by it. As we know, the oldest one gets to name you. When my oldest granddaughter (now 9) was a baby, my daughter asked me what I wanted to be called; I was holding out for "Grandpa". The closest the little one could get to it was Gaga (no relation to the "lady" by the same name and I was Gaga before she was). All 4 of the grandkids call me that now so I guess I am Gaga for life. My wife is Neenee. After the 2nd one was born, my daughter made me a ballcap with rainbow-colored embroidered letters that said "Gaga's Girls - G--- and C---" which I wore proudly for a short while until I went into a hardware store. The college age girl at the cash register took one look and said "no offense, mister, but I had two donkeys named G--- and C---". I said, "well you get the Miss Congeniality award". Didn't know what she was so disgusted about. The next day at lunch with a friend, he took one look at this bright colored cap and said "have you been to one of those Gentlemen's Clubs?" So I only wear the cap at home on the farm when the kids are here.
What's your story? I would rather be Gaga than Peepaw
