– “Abuela” is most popular in four states: Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas.
– “Pop-Pop” is most popular in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Maryland and North Carolina.

* “Nana” and “Papa.” Gee, thanks for making an effort. You used a grand total of three letters.
* Whatever you call them you have to do it twice, because they’re deaf as a post.
* And if you call them both “Boomer,” please stop.
* This is good information, but what we really need to know is the best way to get into the will.
