Grandmas tend to speak about themselves in the third person. Is this a world-wide phenomenon?

Is this what makes you a grandma, or just a switch that flips the moment your kid has offspring?

Imagine it happening in the middle of a conversation. The moment you emerged from the womb at the hospital, grandma’s Broca’s area loads a new language module.

“I bought these new German slimming tights, after grandma went to church.”

Confused face.

I think my daughter just gave birth. I’ll call you later, Maria.”

Grandma transformation complete.
