[quote=Anonymous]If you watched Audrey Hepburn movies she calls her dad papa. Accent on the second pa. Granted that movie (Sabrina) takes place in France. Papa is French, Russian, other Easter European cultural heritage. You can be American but a couple generations back it was common so it stays in the family. It’s also easier to say for very little toddlers. M and p are sounds that are made very similarly with the mouth and usually the first consonants for babies. [/quote]
