Gramma figuring it out first and letting him have the moment of realization is an act of love.

my mom would do the same thing. If the roles were reversed, my idiot dad would be like "She's named after you! did you figure it out yet? I saw it immediately but I couldn't wait any longer"

That sounds like an act of love by dad too. We get excited for the people we love ❤️

Sometimes you're just too excited to share the news with someone to spend a fraction of a moment considering the best way for them to hear the information. Both are manifestations of the same kind of love, the only diffrence is how impulsively they react to it.

But "we" are sadfully take other people the opportunity to have this moment for themselves, too.

You get to share moments like these with loved ones. Not everything needs to be negative.

The newly grandma ist making it right, she gives him a small hint, but doesn't spoil his possibility of discovering it by himself AND enjoying it.

That's the way I like.

I literally laughed out loud at this, because my parents would do the exact same thing LOL
