How would you comfort a parent who's been scolded by a grandparent?

My mother and I were visiting my maternal grandmother.  My grandmother wanted to borrow a piece of jewelry that my grandmother had given to my mother.  My mother stated that the jewelry was at her home but don't recall where she had hidden the jewelry.  My grandmother scolded my mother for being stupid, forgetful and careless.  My mother was speechless after my grandmother's scolding.  I gave my mother a hug to comfort her.

    I would have done exactly what you did, sometimes a hug means more than words.
