Why do grandma's pinch your cheeks at family reunions?

Why do grandma's pinch your cheeks at family reunions? That and they say "oh wow, you are growing up to be tall, do you play basketball?"

I've honestly never had my cheeks pinched.

When I started getting tattooed my dad called me out in front of my grandma and she told me she was glad she was going to die soon..

...

She has since apologized.. to my dad. He relayed the message.

lol my little nephew is going through this phase where he thinks he is too fat. I told him, "Honey, you are just fine." And he said, "I'm not fine. You just think my cheeks are cute!"
