so me and lynn were talking

we don't really know what to call white people's parents and grandparents
in chinese it is standardized.

moms - ayi
dads - shushu
grandmas - nainai (or waipo if it's your mom's mom's friend)
grandpas - yeye (waigong if it's your dad's dad's friend)

not so simple in the west (or maybe it is, and we don't get it)
mr and mrs sounds too formal, and mom and dad sounds kind of presumptuous.

the answer? this is always my gut feeling

how about mrs grandma!!!

how are you doing, mr. dad?
