We had a kitten visit us this week. Earl claimed him and the kitten promptly put his chin on Earl's arm and started to fall asleep.

The kitten belongs to Tucker's girlfriend who got him as a graduation gift. I know, who gives a kid a pet for graduation? Parents shouldn't give them more reasons to stay home.

Anyway, the kitten didn't have a name yet and Tucker decided it should be named Kevin. He was calling the kitten KevDawg. I thought that was an awful name for a kitten, but apparently it stuck.

Now I told him he has stay in the relationship with his girlfriend forever since he named her kitten; otherwise, she'll think of him every time she calls the kitten Kevin, or KevDawg.

Maybe she should have gone with her original idea and called it Mango.  

A Grandma by Any Other Name

I'm not sure why I started thinking about this. Maybe it was when Tucker, the 15-year-old, started talking about getting a P tattooed on his shoulder in honor of his great-grandmother Pauline, and I choked on my coffee. But I started wondering about names that kids call their grandparents. The grandparents I knew were Nana and Granddad. Because my mom's parents died, I don't even know what the 25 other grandkids called them before I came along.
My parents decided to avoid the grandma and grandpa tradition. My dad became Gran and my mom became Nena. I'm not sure if Nena is an offshoot of Nana, but it works.
Then my dad's sister became Nonni. I have no idea where that came from.

Earl's sister has a grandbaby who will be two this week, and she calls her grandparents Memaw and Pop. I don't think I'd want to be Memaw.
Hopefully, this is a question I will, personally, not have to deal with for a long time, but what weird grandparent names have you heard of? What did you call your grandparents?
