Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

Hi, I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania, and my grandmother taught us to call her mother, who hailed from Krakow, "Baba" (pronounced: bah' bah). After she passed away, we called my grandmother Baba. In light of this thread, where on earth do you think that came from?!? Anyone else call their Polish grammies "Baba"??..

Aaaah, that explains it, Magda! She probably taught us to say "Baba" when we were toddlers... and then the name stuck!

Hah hah! :-)

Thanks for clearing up yet another family mystery!
