His Nanny (maternal grandmother) his Oma (step maternal grandmother and myself...Granny, paternal grandmother). When paying for the ice cream, the assistant said to him "what a lucky boy you are, your Nanny bought you an ice cream". Well, he rolled his eyes, as only a three year old can do and replied "my Granny....not my Nanny...Granny hasn't got any boobies...she doesn't even have any nipples"!!!. Well I packed up laughing whilst the poor woman looked sooo mortified. I tell this story to show how normal (well normal is debatable) I feel, and how my family also feels. Nobody else matters.
