What do your grandchildren call you?

It seems the new trend, and I've noticed it among the new grandparents in my life, is to come up with a perfectly personal version of the old fashioned "Grandma or Grandpa" label.

Apparently, Boomers no longer feel those names fit what they consider to be their role as parents once removed. In fact, one friend pondered for months while her grand-child-to-be was on the way. She finally settled on "Grand-E" because her first name began with E.

This article http://tinyurl.com/r3y2at will give you some suggestions if you're at a loss. Have fun with it and let me know what your grandkids call you! By the way, do you have another name for your grandchildren? A friend of mine calls them, fondly - of course, her 'grandmonsters'.
