Grammy
Some grandchildren pick the name they call their grandparents. I picked “Grammy”, and it seems to have stuck. I like it a lot because it sounds like I won an award. I didn’t want to be called “Granny” or “Grandma” because I think those names made me sound old. I sure don’t feel like a “Memaw” or a “Nana” and I didn’t want to use some exotic name like “Oma” or “Babushka”. “Grammy” just seemed to fit the best. And, luckily, my grandson seems to think so, too.
A Grammy’s job is never done and we have a lot of duties. One of my favorites is singing to my grandson. I even learned how to play a few songs on the ukulele. “You are My Sunshine” is our favorite song. Another Grammy duty I love is reading. Right now, we are reading the original 1899 version of The Wizard of Oz. Did you know Dorothy’s shoes were originally silver, not ruby?
