Keep your head up, never look down!

Before anyone gets mad at me, I know my grandma is old and is losing her mind. She has been exhibiting signs of mental decline since 80. I DO NOT HATE MY GRANDMA. Grandma is my dad's mom. Grandpa (dad's father, and the best adult figure I ever had for 12 years of my life) died when I was 12 and it really hurt Grandma hard. Like really hard. It hurt me too. I'm now approaching 30 (and feeling it). That's when Grandma started to decline in mental sanity. She has made it to 90! Hooray!!!

Malicious behaviors started popping up with Grandma only targeting me (a dude) for attention and it REALLY annoyed the middle child, an identical twin. Grandma will only look at me, even when the ENTIRE family is visiting grandma. Nobody else seems to notice that grandma will stare at me and wait until I look at her to shyly smile and look away like a hot girl getting turned on. Granted, she has been doing that since 80. I do NOT hate my grandma. the middle sibling is another story.

"Don't look down, Oberus, it's bad for your neck and posture." every time, regardless of what I'm doing, I must look STRAIGHT AT grandma. What do I do?

Starts pouring food out of a pan onto a plate where I HAVE to look down (it's below eye level). "Oberus!!! hey! look up, it's bad for your neck!" says grandma. I do just that I start looking right up (she purposely stands in my line of sight) and continue what I'm doing. Food starts missing the plate and spilling onto the table (but not the entire thing). "Oberus!! you're spilling onto the table!" grandma exclaims. Dad comes over to yell at me for being so careless. Hey, grandma told me to not look down and demanded I do so WHILE I was pouring it. So I did. Grandma is furious that I spilled food because I wasn't looking at it. Dad (her own son) yells at her FULL volume the same way he does at me whenever I break something. This repeats for 5 months until grandma is just tired of her own son yelling at her for this situation to cause a mess in HIS household.

If this doesn't comply, I will remove it
