[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elderly get more self centered as they get older, like toddlers. [/quote] This. Your mom was hurt and embarrassed by the scene, and is experiencing that as anger. (This is not limited to the elderly, but is very common in them.) A good way to defuse this is to compliment your mom on how she stayed calm in a difficult situation (or whatever true-ish thing you can say) to make her the hero rather than the person who made a kid scream.[/quote]
