How Grandpa became Papa


When Kayla began talking she called Sid "Grandpa" and me "Grandma" which is what we called ourselves when talking to her. When Hannah began talking she had a little trouble pronouncing words. I was called "mamaw" which sounded like "Grandma" to her. She couldn't say "Grandpa" and finally said "Papa" and that's what his name became to her. Kayla tried to correct her many times, but Hannah wouldn't budge. Even as she got older and could say "Grandma" fine, she still called Sid "Papa". Kayla gave up and started calling him that too and all the other grandkids have done the same.
