Mama? Grandma?

Emery is in this phase where she thinks every female is either a Mama or Grandma. Cute, right? Well, it is, until you are in store and she decides that someone is a Grandma.

We were in Target yesterday and Emery started calling the lady in front of us Grandma. The lady seemed to be of Grandma age, but it was a little iffy. And even if it is, it's still uncomfortable for Emery to just start calling someone a Grandma because, well, she thinks they look like one. So after every time Emery said "Grandma" I followed up with "yes, we are going to see Grandma because Mama has to go to work".

I hope she grows out of this before we completely offend some woman that maybe isn't quite old enough to be a Grandma but looks older than her age.

My oldest would do that, we were visiting Allen's Uncle once and he started calling him "Grandpa" he wasn't a Grandpa yet. You could tell he very uncomfortable and a little offended by that at first, but he warmed up to the idea when he saw what special treatment he got for being a "Grandpa". What's worst is he would also go grab any "Grandpa" or "Grandma" hand and go with them, that always scared me.
