    I remember I used to call her Grandma beans, LOL. Everytime we visited she was making beans. I haven't thought about that in a long time. What a trip

    Mima is not used in South America.

    So you get South America and Mexico...380 million for South America...and 110 million for Mexico (plus about 30 million more beaners in the USA)...for a combined population of 520 million...compared to...

    ...the population of two tiny islands...Cuba and Puerto Rico...lol.

    Nice try...but no cigar for you, Damien.

    Don't get me wrong i use to call my great grand mother Abuelita Caridad (That was her name)

    yup that's the way

    I called them grandma and grandpa on both sides of the family.
    My kids call their grandparents ; grandma and Papa.
    except for my two year old who calls her grandma; Me-maw???
    Not sure where she got it or if she just has a hard time with grandma?
    I remember when the other two kids were small they used to call her gamma.
    Anyway we just go with it.

    My paternal Grandmother (& Grandfather) raised me so I call her Mom or Ma (and him Dad). My biological father doesn't like it but that's just too bad.

    Growing up I called both of my grandmothers: Grandma, when my younger cousins came along everyone started calling my mom's mom Nana. She passed away 2 months ago, love you Nana.

    My kids call my mom Grammie, and my wifes mom Mema. They called my wifes Grandmother Mamounchu(spelling) I think it is Grandmother in Ukrain

    I called her gramma (when I was really little, I was told I called her "umga". Everyone got a kick out of that and always told me that story).

    I called my great-grandmother Nanny.
