Linus and Lucy’s grandmother seems like the TYPICAL adult, in having just the kind of attitude that Linus predicts, instead of standing for any kind of fighting, or even "competition"among her grandchildren. Instead of favoring Lucy or Linus’ drawing over the other, she thinks they’re EQUALLY nice.
