The propensity for you and your grandma to both act out of spite for one another is impressively high. Its good to have proof you're related

Oh, you're mistaken. I enjoyed that bike because it was a good bike. It just wasn't "boy-colored", but I didn't mind.

Gendered colours are stupid anyway.

Exactly, and I was way too young to actually care about colors anyway.

Especially when you consider the arbitriness of it. Pink used to be the color for baby boys.

Yeah, but surely you knew how she'd react if you rode it in front of her

Dude, I was a child. I didn't even have the mental capacity to spite my own grandma. I saw a cool bike, didn't mind the color and rode it, that's it.

Psychoanalyzing people on the internet is stupid.

No! You will take the judgement I gave you to your grave!
