This comment from Wangero was an anomaly in her character as a whole. Once Dee leaves and comes back, her character is truly brought out. In the beginning of the story, her and Mama aren't very close and Dee doesn't quite fit in with Mama and Maggie. Once she returns as Wangero, she drops her family past and heritage. She comes back to pick old family artifacts off her family to make great display pieces. She quickly forgets the sentimental value it has to Maggie and Mama and what it should mean to her. I'm not sure where Wangero developed the condescending tone and sense of entitlement, but it's rude and annoying. Once she leaves, she tells them to live in the present and exercise newly found freedoms, but she doesn't realize they are perfectly content living in the past.
