Loyal

[poliphilo]

An elderly Cameroonian man asked Fabi to call him "grandpa" and Fabi said, "you're not my grandpa"- which is gratifyingly loyal of him. But I think we need to explain to him that it's entirely natural for a person to have two grandpas. After all, one can't have too many benevolent elderly gentlemen in one's life.

Perhaps if he called the other chap "grand-dad" or "gramps"...

That's really sweet and also a good idea to explain to him about two grandpas.

In Cameroonian culture it's de rigueur to show older men respect. Fabi's would-be grandfather was a little taken aback.
