How does your family say grandma and/or grandpa?
Bubba & Jedo
If you’ve been following our company at all, you’ll already know that the paternal side of my family calls grandma “Bubba” – thus “Bubba’s HomeBaked.” We grandchildren unknowingly misspelled baba, which is Serbian for grandmother. We did a similar thing with our name for grandfather. Dzedo is Serbian for grandfather, but we grandkids spelled it “Jedo.” We were familiar only with the spoken words and never saw them written out, so we spelled them the only way that made sense to us – and none of the adults ever said otherwise. Honestly, I was an adult before I knew any different.
So, what do you call your grandmother and/or grandfather? If necessary, please explain it for us!
