Granny dressed in brown? Not this trendy Granny!!

I used to be Nanny, but now they are grown up I am Nan. I have always thought that Grandma sounds rather straightlaced and old fashioned, which is definitely not me! I like to dress in colour, brown doesn't suit me.

I only had one grandmother who was Gran to us. My Mum was Nan to my two boys and I was always Nanny to my first three grandchildren but the two youngest insisted on calling me Granny, I don't know why. It makes no difference to me, I’m still the same person.

I am Nanna. My grandmother was Nanna and so was my mother to my daughter. It just followed on and I prefer it anyway. DS maternal grandmother likes to be called Grannie so it works out fine. Neither of us wear brown, no judgement just doesn't suit us either of us we both like colours.

It's impossible to generalise. We are all different!
I'm Nan to all my grandchildren, or occasionally Nanny,
or even Nannykins sometimes!
I'm considered very modern, slightly hippie, slightly bonkers, by all of them.
I never wear brown. I like bright colours.

As a young child I had 2 great grandmothers, both called Grandma so I have always associated that with being really aged!
I was actually quite shocked/horrified when a young friend told me her mum (still in her 40's at the time) had opted to be called Grandma.

We are Gran and Grandad.

We are Grandma and Grampa. DH had a Granny and Gramps, and I had two Grandmas. One Grandma O, the other Grandma M . I cannot remember any of them wearing brown. Black perhaps. All except Grandma O were sprightly and played with us a lot.

We are Granny and Grandpa.

I certainly don't wear brown! I remember my own Granny very well. She wore skirts but not brown ones.

I thought that my Nana looked fabulous in the blue coat and hat that she wore to church.

I remember thinking brown was very smart at some point in my youth. However it doesn't suit me despite being more than happy to be called Granny. ( collectively we are known as G and G.)

I was once asked if I minded my grandchildren calling me Granny. I replied that I didn’t care what they called me, and in any case if it was good enough for the Queen..... ps I don’t have a single brown item in my wardrobe, yet I used to have some when I was much younger - odd!

I had to wear a brown school uniform so I haven't worn brown since. I am Nana to my 6 grandchildren and it doesn't matter what you are called it is how you interact with them.

My dad was always Poppa to all his grandchildren. It was the name the first one could manage!
