Grand-names
My children like to watch a show on the Disney Channel called The Proud Family. I think the show is kind of cute. One of the characters is the grandmother named Suga Mama. I decided yesterday that when I am a grandmother I want to be called Suga Mama too. Why? I cannot think of anything sillier. My husband was appalled and said"that's just silly," which made me like it even more.
I can see it now, little grandkids coming to me while I say "come here and give Suga Mama some suga..."
My father is known to my children as "Boompa". Why? I think for the same reason-it sounds really silly. He took the name from Mr.Hobbs Takes a Vacation where the main character's grandson keeps following his grandfather around calling him "Boompa". Mr. Hobbs in frustration finally asks the child "why do you keep calling me Boompa?"
The child replies "because I love you."
