    Seeing that Cornell's mother in law is Greek, her referring to her grandchild's father as babaka (and you say it means daddy) seems perfectly normal to me. My mother is always referred to as 'bonne-maman' (a way of saying grandma in French) to my daughter, even when speaking in English.

    Would it be less funny if she captioned 'Daddy taking Christopher.....'? Or is it the syntax that is funny?
