I found my paternal grandfather's body when I was three; He had a heart attack while in the outhouse. Only saw my maternal grandfather a few times, as we lived 1,200 miles away. Grampa was standard in my family - until it was my turn. Both my grandkids call me Papa. I don't care what they call me, grandkids are too precious to criticize for a thing as trivial as that. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
