Say something to her like:

"Ok Gran/Grandma (or whatever it is you call her), News Flash! I am 20 years old. I am NOT a kid. Get it right!"

You may have to have one of those mature, grown-up conversations with her with just the two of you. Explain to her that you are an adult now - you're perfectly intelligent, able to fend for yourself. That the way she's treating you is something you find uncomfortable or otherwise inappropriate, and you would love it if she could try giving you a little more respect :)
