My children call their grandmother on my side Nana

Grandpas are grandpas.
My funny is a friend of our family calls there grandmother Mimi, well we were all together and my 4 year old calls her privates mimi. Make long story short I didn't put two and two together till the day my daughter said her mimi hurt in front of the grandmother. Just thought I would add that.
