Depends on the grandmother. I loved my grandmother Kate dearly, but she was very sick and dying, and scary. She was a terrible snob, family proud, aristocratic, funny as hell, and poor as dirt. Some quotations: "Soon electricity will do every thing. I will still want a Negro girl to turn on the switch." "The Thurmonds are as common as home-made soap." When her son married a "common" woman and visited he told her Alice liked fried chicken for dinner. "I never knew a country baptist who didn't." When Alice asked Kate to leave her the Ming vase on the mantlepiece when she died, Kate told my mother "Mae, knock that damned thing off the mantle piece the day I die." When asked if she was related to someone, she replied "I am kin to all of the white people in South Carolina, and most of the colored." Boy, could she make ginger cakes.
