Becoming a grandfather presents the problem of what you are going to be called. I started with GT (Grandpa Tony), but this is a little difficult for a 1 year old to say....and then by pure luck Shevaun was telling me that the Chinese have a separate word for the Grandparents depending whose mother or father they are - the Grandfather on the father's side is yé yé. Settled I decided as I shouted yeah yeah, or rather yé yé.
Not sure what a step mother on the son's side should be...any suggestions?!
Here are the Chinese names:
Grandpa on Dads side = Ye Ye
Grandma on Dad's side = Nai Nai
Step Grandma on Dad's side = ?????
Grandpa on Mom's side = Gong Gong
Grandma on Mom's side = Po Po
