Ill start us off with a couple.
My nephew started calling his grandfather Daddy Tom. When asked what Daddy Toms wifes name was the young boy thought a moment and asked Mommy Tom? All subsequent siblings continued to call their grandparents Daddy Tom and Mommy Tom.
The same nephew impatiently waited for his dad to assemble a bike. After a few minutes he asked dont you need the indistructions? Forever more my family only used indestructions when assembling something.

I love it. Your mom must have loved it as well as she didn't lose it in those 88 years. 🙂
