What is the origin of calling "dibs"?

Asked by LauratheRockStar (182points) September 2nd, 2007

Why dibs?
Was there a Mr. Dibbs who claimed lots of stuff and was generally pretty selfish?
Did Mrs. Dibs have a general store that you had to call to reserve all the good produce?
Inquiring minds want to know and I can’t find it online . . .
Thanks!
