Gah. Divorce sucks.<br /><br />And I think it's weird to call a friend's grandparent Granny or Nannie. I know they did it with Mimi but she was special. Remember Uncle Joe in Mystery #3?

I love you, Uncle Joe...er, Mr. Pike.Sadakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164802394129505587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995576343634189249.post-86990215264147755092009-09-24T23:20:44.674-07:002009-09-24T23:20:44.674-07:00I think that when my cul-de-sac had Fourth of July...I think that when my cul-de-sac had Fourth of July parties the adults had to get a permit. Of course, we were setting off fireworks in the middle of the road, so that could be why.<br /><br />As for non-relatives calling her Nanny, that seems totally normal to me. My grandmother introduces herself to everyone under the age of 35 as "Granny" rather than her name. My husband's sister calls her Granny, even.<br /><br />Thanks for recapping this book, after the Mary Anne book I was curious!SJSiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996362396265436534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995576343634189249.post-28254066469313722002009-09-24T22:03:21.910-07:002009-09-24T22:03:21.910-07:00Thanks!
