I have something else to complain about! How come B thought it was weird that Ghost called her Gandma 'Barbara', when she herself called her own mother 'Pamela'? Good point!

Maybe because it is more common to call your parents by their name than calling your grandparents by their name...

I haven't met anyone who calls either their parents or their grandparents by their first names, I think both are equally weird.

I know a lot of folk calling theire parents by theire first names.. not grandparens though.. they call theire grand parents something like "mommo" and "Bæssa" and the funny thing is that ìts not even real words.. its just rubbish..In english It would be like calling youre grandmother "graher" and youre grandfather "graher"... stuupid..

I always say Grandmother (oma in ducth) to my grandmother and sometimes mum to my mom and sometimes her name... But I usually call my father dad...

Well too bad you can't speak dutch ;D ... I once heard that there was a possibility that America would speak dutch ... the people could choose between English and Dutch ... but English was the one chosen... That happened like a long time ago.

Hey I think you mean German and English.. During colonial times in America, there were as many German speaking people as there were English speakers.. So the USA could nearly have been German speaking.. Only because the colonies were under British rule did it prevent the future USA from being German speaking..

Nope I heard it was Dutch and English, because New York was ours or something, but the Dutch people traded it for Suriname...
