She didn’t. Tenzin was the council leader for the Air Nation, so he was never able to get away. Also Jinora and Ikki have met her before, Meelo’s just a little kid and probably didn’t remember her.

Or does cuz kids say random stuff all the time. "Who are you" says the nephew to everyone.

My son literally said "how do you know me" to a kid the other day, it was our former next door neighbor who he has been going to BBQs with etc multiple times a month for his entire life. He saw her out of context, he was like, who are you stranger??

Object permanence doesn't really start developing until 8yrs old, so it's pretty in line with meelo (the super rambunctious child) to probably not fully remember his own grandmother 😅
