"Why you're one of my babies. You're one of my own children."

What I think grandmother is trying to say here is that she knows that man from the past meeting her somewhere through her life and is telling him that he is like a child to her, of course he is definatly old enough. I think grandma thought that he would not shoot her than if she talked some good sense to him, but that did not matter cause he shot at her anyways. I thought that this was a sad short story and I felt bad for the grandmother because she wanted to go to Tennesse.
