The only person who thinks your worst photo should be framed and displayed.

means An affectionate term for the mother of one's parent, or more broadly, a grandmother.

from A simple toddler-speak contraction of 'grandmother,' with 'grand-' itself borrowed in the 13th century from French to mark a generational skip — the same prefix that gives us grandfather, grandson, and grand-aunt. 'Grandma' softened the formal title into something babbling mouths could manage, and it stuck for everyone else too.
