Why Do Parents Call Their Girl Child "Mama"? by Nobody: 2:41pm On Sep 23, 2014 |
There may be a transcription to the name "Mama" which I know not of, but having observed that with not-a-few moms I am compelled to ask my fellow "learned" Nlers. Why do they "nickname" their daughters "Mama" and not call their sons "Papa"? |
