B
In a world that is fast and not close online, the Grandma Stand is a reminder of something simple but important: everyone needs to be heard, and there's power in human connection. This activity invites anyone and everyone to stop by, sit for a while, and share a conversation with a "grandma"—wise, warm, and wonderfully understanding.
As Grandma Nancy recently told CBS News with a smile, "We're loving people as a rule." Her words show exactly what makes this project so special: a welcoming space where people of all ages can stop, talk, laugh, or simply be listened to.
The idea began back in 2012 in New York City, thanks to Mike Matthews. After seeing how a heartfelt chat with his 95-year-old grandma, Eileen, lifted a friend's spirits, he knew there was something powerful in grandmotherly warmth. It started as a small booth（摊位）and became a regular（定期的）Saturday routine of open-hearted dialogue on street corners across the city.
Even after Eileen died at the age of 102, Matthews thought the world still needed that gentle listening ear. So he brought back the Grandma Stand with a bright purple booth（Eileen's favourite colour）and a changing group of grandmas who were ready to give care, encouragement and wise insights.
In places like McKinney and Texas, the Grandma Stand has become a local attraction, drawing neighbours for encouraging and free conversations. Later, the Grandma Stand appears throughout November and December with the goal of bringing people together—especially during times when people might feel lonely or stressed. It's a gentle reminder to slow down, hear one another, and remember that kindness is a gift we all can give.
（
A. They can support a grandma in need.
