Yep its the Dad equivalent of a mothers "baby".
Another "Yep."
MY Mom & Dad
still call my Brother and I "Boys", as in 'Boys, come in here and explain this car in the living room.'
Now though, they have two G'sons.
And,
all four of us call my Brother's sons "the boys."
M&D just have to be specific as to which generation of "boys" they are referring to, or my Brother and I wonder, 'Hmmm....what'd we do
now?'
Mom even said that she has been at the hospital at one time or another for
all three of
her boys.
