   • 1916 July, Rose O'Neill, “The Kewpies and their Fairy Cousin”, in Good Housekeeping, volume 63, number 1, page 88:

     Their doings now were jubilational—
     What quiet folks would call sensational.
     Their goodies they unpack excitedly,
     Their Common Grandsire greet delightedly,
     With gentle, sympathetic tiddering.
     When from his tree-top he called diddering,
     All "gramps," Wag said, are worth considering.
