TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Texting mix-up leads to a memorable 6 year Thanksgiving tradition

I absolutely love this story.

Six years ago a woman named Wanda Dench thought she was texting her grandson a reminder about coming to thanksgiving dinner. Like we’ve all done at one time or another she texted the wrong number by accident. The person on the other end was a guy named Jamal Hinton.

Naturally, he wrote back “who’s this?” she responded “grandma…” to which he texted back “You not my grandma,”. “Can I still get a plate tho” she then replied “of course!”

Now every year since Jamal has attendee thanksgiving dinner at Wanda’s house and the two have become good friends. They will once again sit down together for the sixth year in a row and have Thanksgiving dinner next week.

Incredible. Cheers to many more!
