[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mimi and Papa are not a Southern thing. [/quote] Agree. Not southern at all. MaMaw and PaPaw are southern. Although we are from Mississippi and our grandbaby calls us Grammy and Granddaddy. [/quote] I always thought it was a Jewish or maybe Yiddish thing. The branch of my family that is Jewish uses these names for the wife's parents. [/quote] I'm Jewish, never heard these names before. Grandpa and grandma in Hebrew is saba and savta, Yiddish is bubbie and zeide. [/quote] Yeah, all the Jewish grandparents I know are called one of those names, not Mimi and Papa. [/quote]
