I have previously mentioned that Alexis has A LOT of Grandparents. To be more specific, she has three grandfathers, two grandmothers, four great-grandfathers, and four great-grandmothers still kicking butt and making me feel like a loser for whining about my aching knee. In an attempt to make it easier to differentiate themselves for the grandkids, some of them have given themselves titles other than "Grandma" and "Grandpa." I personally do not think the grandkids would every have any trouble differentiating between all the grandparents. After all, there's the Crazy One, the Chatty One, the Shopper, the One with the Funny Accent, and The Really Bad Driver and right now they are all trying to figure out who is who and I'M NOT TELLING because then I couldn't talk about y'all in code.

Anyway.

Alexis is pretty far down the line of grandkids, so the titles are well-ingrained at this point. This past weekend it was Mammaw and Pappaw who came to visit.

While we were all out enjoying a nice meal as one big happy family, The Toddler decided to give her own special twist to the whole Grandparents and Their Own Special Names thing. We were all sitting around the table chowing down on some grub when Pappaw excused himself to run to the restroom. A few minutes later, Alexis looked up and realized that her Grandpa was gone.

"Where's Peepaw?" she asked.

Interestingly enough, that's EXACTLY what he was doing.

(Is that one of those "you had to be there" stories? If so, sorry. We certainly thought it was funny at the time!)
