Ninny

Ninny: some define "ninny" as a fool or simpleton. My mom, Cindy, saw it in a crossword puzzle defined as "Ass".

Our kids define Ninny as "Grandma". When Emily was 2 and starting to talk, she called Grandma Strack "Nana". Grandma Strack never wanted to be known as Grandma Strack since my Grandma Strack was pretty unpleasant. Cindy wanted to be known as Grandma Cindy. Well, Emily combined Nana and Cindy and it evolved into Ninny!

Not only is Grandma Strack Ninny, but so is Grandma Kreidler! However, Grandma Del has always been Grandma Del.

Here are a few pictures of our kids "Ninnys".
