T Stands for Need Help

 

Grab your favorite beverage and let me know what you would do.

As some of you know I'm working on a baby gift for our niece. On the last panel, I've written out and illustrated a nursery rhyme my Mother-in-Law used to chant to the babies in the family.

I remember her saying the rhyme to Himself's three youngest siblings (If you didn't know, Himself and I grew up next door to each other). She also said this rhyme to the Eldest. My MIL is was too ill to say this rhyme to the Young One and she passed away when the Young One was two years old.

Anyway, I want to add her legacy to the panel, but need some help on the wording.

1. This rhyme was chanted by Mother-in-Law's name or

2. This rhyme was chanted by Great-Nana Last Name

I don't have a lot of space on the panel to put Great-Nana Full Name

Which would you choose?

    As The Young One, probably Great-Nana *Surname*. For a long time as a kiddo I only ever heard her referred to as Nana and though I didn't get to know her myself, knowing how she was connected to me seemed to be important, more important than her full name. This being a family legacy I think probably having the connection is more important here than just a name.

    She's a baby right now so she won't know or care but when she gets older and looks at this seeing the connection will help make Great-Nana feel more real, close, and important.

    I'm for number 2 also. Great Nana and last name. It's not like this child will know the person directly, and it will help keep who they were straight to them. I didn't know you grew up next door to your husband. That is really cool.Was this in Boston or the burbs? Happy T day. That's a pretty cup by the way.

      Burbs. When growing up the area was the back of beyond. In the 1970s a mall was built, the area had a boom, and became known as MetroWest.

    I would go for name - but then I don't like labels.

    I have no preference, however if you want more space for first and last names, an option might be 'As chanted by' instead of 'This rhyme was chanted by'.

    I agree with Laura and FinnBadger. Sorry I'm late visiting. Was sick all day and slept with Squiggles to keep me warm.

    LOVE that mug.
