My paternal grandmother was a white woman, but she dressed and behaved almost exactly like Mother Jefferson! (Especially around my Mom.)

EDIT: Except my grandmother would mispronounce words sometimes, like she'd call a tower a "towa". My older brother used to jokingly say she talked like a Bostonian sometimes. And what did I find out from my genealogical research? Her distant ancestors came from Boston!

Her ancestors were very poor too, like my mother's, but she became high and mighty after marrying my paternal grandfather!

My Dad cried when his mother died, which honestly surprised me because he acted like he detested her when she was alive. He didn't like her pompous attitude, and my grandfather seemingly just tolerated it.
