Transcript:
Gene: Shrimp, I don't think there's room for two Pops in this outfit! Gene: Besides, I'm too young to be a "Pop"! Meg: Well, what should I call you? Gene: "Gene" won't do anymore? Meg: No! I want to call you something special! Gene: Like "Shrimp", huh? Meg: Even more special than that!

My step-daughter called me a lot of different things through the years but none that I can repeat on here. If she had her choice she would call me deceased

I read where Pat Nixon was distressed once at being called “Grandma” by one of her grandchildren because it made her feel old. But when the kid checked in with Grandpa, the former President replied “Oh, you can call me whatever you want; I’ve already been called everything.”
