Who gave you that interpretation? Where in scripture does it say that Mary was "Trying to get her son to reveal who He was prematurely"?

Jesus did...

Joh 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

Now you know...

Or, “Woman, what is that between me and thee?”

The interpretation you give is what a modern person would interpret using today’s language. Who told you that should be interpreted to mean that “Mary was trying to get her son to reveal who He was prematurely”? There is nothing in the passage to indicate that. It appears that you are assuming (probably wrongly) that Christ Jesus was annoyed with His mother for telling Him that they were out of wine. I sincerely doubt that.

Thanks for making that known...It really is quite amazing how Mary kept all these things spoken of her Son for so long. I can see why she would be looking for the time when she thought He should make Himself known.

I had an occcassion where I stepped into my sons life in such a way and oh my did he make it known he knew when and what He was doing....in his time not mine. Like Mary I got a firm rebuke. For me an eyeopener my son was his own man. I’d like to think Mary got the message too...it is and was a prescious moment between mother and son.
