So after I got home helping my friend with her Prince thing, Mother got a Facetime from my niece.  Naturally, I wanted to see her.  But when Mother moved the camera from herself to me, the first thing she said was, "Grandma?"  That's when my brother, who was off-camera, said that my niece wanted to see Mother instead.

Not to be paranoid, especially because I haven't been communicating with my niece a whole lot.  But I have a feeling that my brother is making my niece hate me.

Just sayin'.
