Grandmotherly. She will share her wisdom with you if you wish, but she is crotchety 99.9% of the time. Demanding. She will give you a terrible Christmas sweater, knowing that you dislike them, and will expect you to wear it when you meet her and act like you love it. It will be wool. It will itch like there is no tomorrow. She will also make you an elaborate meal that combines all the foods you hate, insisting all the while that it is your favorite dish, and she will watch with a broadening smile as you choke it down just to make her stop talking about how hard she worked to make it and how nutritious it is and how, at your age, she knew how to respect her elders — even if all they gave her was cardboard soaked in cat urine.
