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

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!

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"??..
