What do you call your parents/grandparents?
I call my mom and dad, well, mom and dad. There did used to be a time that they were mommy and daddy, until I was about 6 I'd say. And my grandparents were always grandma and grandpa.
I never said mama, granny, pops or anything like that. But I know some people do. And some names are even more unique. |

Grandfather on my pop's side was Nonno(Italian for gpops, we pronounced it Nah-new though) and grandma is Mere(French for mother)
gpops on my moms side was Beepaw(eldest cousin couldn't say Grandpa as a kid and it just stuck through the fam) and grandmother is Grammy.
