Talking to parent

Talking to my mom at lunch about flying to Florida to visit Grandma. I say:

Did you tell Grandma I was going? Or

Did you tell grandma I was coming?

Are both useable?

Thanks!

  • PreciousJones Did you tell Grandma I was going?
  • Or Did you tell Grandma I was coming?
  • Both seem OK to me.
  • I'd use the second one, thinking of it in terms of Grandma's point of view.
  • From that point of view, you will be moving toward her.
