But surely there were no other Ammas and Buppas: Amma sometimes, but Buppa was seemingly unheard of. (BTW, there's nothing wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition.)
Except . . . Except Shauna saw someone in our own town, our own little town, advertising Amma and Buppa mugs a little before Christmas. So she surprised us with them on Christmas morning. She had us open them simultaneously, and we are, at this moment, both drinking our morning coffee from said mugs.

Buppa [buhp-uh] Special grandpa to Danica and Jonathan. Has been known to have ruffles. Amma [am-uh] Grandma extraordinaire to Danica and Jonathan. Often found with Rhonda. |
Buppa's Ruffles comes from a time when Danica was very young and brushing my hair, and she called my short hair, on a pattern-bald head, ruffles.
Meanwhile, Amma often invokes the help of Rhonda, when flustered.
Great mugs! Love the family names!
ReplyDeleteJust delightful dear Amma and Buppa.
ReplyDeleteThat is cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful clip; the back up dancers. Explain the little shop advertising Amma and Buppa mugs a little more though.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have those mugs with your favorite names on them. Happy New Year to you both!
ReplyDeleteAwww. Such sweet names!
ReplyDeleteI am also in mid-60s with 5 gr-kids. We are often called Gpa and Gma.
We are both retired teachers. It was really a great experience.
This is so sweet! What a lovely surprise it must have been! 'getting mugged' sigh. You with the puns.
ReplyDeleteYou have good taste in music.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Lucky Amma and Buppa.
ReplyDeleteThese are fab!
ReplyDeleteI called my maternal grandparents Omama and Opapa. Shame they never got a mug!
