My uncle is called "Uncle Bubba" My mother calls him "Bubba" including my grandmother...I don't really know why everyone calls him "Bubba" and "Uncle Bubba"...I have asked before but everyone just says that they always called him that and have never stopped....hmm...there must be a story behind it, and everyone is just too old to remember! lol! No offense! At least when you get older though, you do get WISER!
