Pickles by Brian Crane for November 24, 2021

Somehow, I don’t think you’re making your point, Earl.

What an amazing great-great-grandfather Nelson had then.

OK, didn’t see that one coming. (snrk).

OK, boomer.

If you don’t want to hear it, use ear plugs.

I called my grandfather Papap and when I got older called him by his nickname, he did not care, one great guy we did a lot together!

Nice story Earl ! Just don’t call me "Late For Dinner " ;-)

I see what you did there.

Hasn’t Dude been replaced by “Brahh or Bro”? Sorry, I never know the proper spelling of the latest in slang.

Somebody is kidding me , right ?

Earl, you’re straying off the reason why you don’t want Nelson to call you “dude”…can you get back on track?

Eh? Sonny. Speak up!

When my first grandchild arrived, I told everyone that I wanted him to refer to me as “Grandpa”, not a cute nickname, although “Your Majesty” or “Your Eminence” would be acceptable.

We called our grandparents by their first name, with the honorific: Grampa Knute and Grampa Julius.

My 27-year-old grandson has always called me Gramps and still does. The younger step-grandkids here in Ecuador, call me either Abuelo _______ or Don ________ ( with my first name).

Not helping!

Papa-san. Mother dear.

He probably would said, “Hey? Oh, ‘Hey, Jude’. Great Beatles song.”

My grand kids all call me Muddy.

Disrespect here.

I never knew either of my grandfathers and only one of my grandmothers… but she was absolutely the best.

In his grandpa’s day, a “dude” was a city boy stuck in a small cowpoke town.

Earl never knows when to stop….oy

Soak in that wisdom, Nelson.

My adult son calls me Pops. Don’t really like it.

Mine was Pepaw, even after I grew up.

One of my mother’s brothers was named George. She always referred to him as Brother. As I was growing up and all my adult life, I called him “Uncle Bubba.” When he died, all his nieces and nephews that had come along after I had moved away, called him Uncle George and I kept thinking, who the heck is that?

We always called our grandpa, “Papa Alley”, since that was his last name.
