Jamal Hinton and Wanda Dench had never met before until Dench accidentally added Hinton into a group text message, thinking that his number belonged to her grandson.
Their conversation quickly went viral as Hinton quickly realized that the woman texting him was not his grandmother but jokingly asked if he could come to Thanksgiving dinner anyway, since the original text had been an invitation to dinner.
To his surprise, Dench invited him to dinner, saying that grandmothers feed people, and that is their job.
So, he showed up on Thursday to the dinner with a family full of strangers, where, according to Hinton, “She welcomed me into her house so that shows how great of a person she is.”
“I’m thankful for all the nice people in the world,” Dence told the Arizona Republic.
Hinton took a selfie with Dench, and of course the picture went viral as he wrote, “So this just happened.”
