While waiting for our grandchilds birth (21 years ago), our daughter insisted that this child would call me Grandma as she called hers. I was not sure I liked that but was very happy to BE that. So when our Megan was learning to talk she could Not say Grandma. It came out Reba, so I am stuck with it! Lots of people who know our grands call me Reba, sometimes they are surprised to find out my name is Carol! The 5 year olds call me ...The Rebs! All of them learned early not to touch the sewing machines or Reba'squilts.
