[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm, it's a bit weird. I wonder if your grandmother had a reason to be super defensive about being disrespected. I can get why an overburdened wife/mom would get annoyed at being called "she." Or maybe it's an arcane rule she learned about respecting elders and authority figures? The only slightly similar thing I can think of is my stepmother (a paradigmatic evil stepmother) would get mad about being referred to as "your stepmother." She lost her sh*t at my sister's wedding when the wedding photographer (who was a non-native English speaker to boot) referred to her as "the stepmother" when arranging the pictures. As in "let's get this picture with the father, the stepmother, and the brothers and sisters."[/quote]
