Was this harsh?

I was having a GREAT day yesterday until I went to see my Grandma, who's moved into an apartment a few weeks ago. She was in a relatively bad mood because she was stressed. She was asking us to help her move stuff around her apartment, and I don't remember a lot from yesterday, just that she was cranky and getting my mom in a bad mood too. So I think my mom said she was getting on her last nerve with her (if it matters, she's my DAD'S mom.) Eventually, she yelled something to me that was mean, and I don't even remember what it was. It hurt me a little, but my mom got furious with her! I told her not to worry about it, but she growled at me to wait in the hall. I couldn't make out what they said, but I could hear my mom's anger. I was over it already anyway. IK she was trying to be a good mom, but isn't that a little harsh? What could I say to them it this comes back up?

It's difficult to say if it was harsh because I don't know what was said between the two. But if you told your Mom not to worry about it, your Mom should have let it go at that. After all, as you said your grandma was stressed. If it ever comes back up say to your grandma "Grandma I know you didn't mean it and to your Mom "Mom, I know you love me and were only trying to defend me but you guys didn't have to let it go so far. This way you would be blaming both of them for letting things get out of hand over something so trivial you don't even remember.
