'You better listen'
sounds like a threat

'Grandma'
my mother's mother that I didn't know well because she lived a thousand miles away
She made a lot a of noise in the kitchen, banging pans around.
She made bread pudding that was weird to me because it had the crusts still in.
She said I should stand up straight or else I'd get a hump on my back.

my father's mother that I saw often who I didn't "know" but was more familiar with
She let me slide down the banister at the Reading Room on Saturdays when she
had duty there. She washed a chicken bone that I liked and let me keep it with the
block to play with. She couldn't make up bedtime stories, but she told me the
standard ones she remembered. She was afraid I would choke on a sucker that
was too big to even fit in my mouth.
