No. 1 Stada Baba aka "the Bubs"

This is my grandmother, fondly called "Baba" by most everyone under the age of 50 (and some over it) who knows her.

She has always been feisty, and one of her favorite activities was watching my brother's High School soccer team.

There were times when her heckling of the other team and the refs made my family think she would be banned from the stadium. This never happened, but her Red Card worthy exclamations were the bane of my mother's existence and the delight of all the Braves' soccer fans who were not related to her.

Why Stada Baba?

My family, like many others, has always had words or phrases that we've used which are all but incomprehensible to others. Stada Baba is one such. It is basically an old lady and comes from my mother's Serbian side of the family.

I may not be a Stada Baba chronologically, but psychologically I think the label may fit.
