NO PAPI!

Equality?

ah, wokeness

Sweeeeeeet. Love the glimpse of the future, too.

I love this!

Gracie is becoming a tweener.

Papi might just have a few names for her…

Never gonna happen, kiddo. To the world he’s Sergio, but you can only have one “Papi.” Monopolize that while you still can.

No, you won’t, Gracie. Oh, you might do it for a week or so, but you will soon be back to calling him Papi.

Is it me, or did Gracie suddenly get taller in the last panel?

And there you have it……………Papiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

A preview of the future in last panel. I called one grandfather Pawpaw, The other wanted his real name, Otto..

Don’t get too grown now, young miss!

You only have one Papi Gracie. Don’t try to change that.

My Grandfather insisted on being called “Tom” all his life.

People who called him “Dad” or “Grandpa” got 100% Ignored.

One bunch of Cousins decided he must be profoundly Deaf because he never responded to anything they said. They were the ones whose mother was also a Prim & Proper “Suthrun Lady” who thought the rest of the family was a bunch of disrespectful Heathens because we called him “Tom” like he asked.
