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!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do people still use payphones?
I can’t remember the last time I used a payphone, but they do still exist it seems. Ever since the inventions of cell phones and smartphones people have stopped looking for coins to call someone.
There are currently about 100,000 useable payphones left in the U.S., One fifth of them are located in New York. For comparison back in 1999 there were two million payphones.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 12-year-old Boy Scout saves couple and their dog
It’s one thing to get a merit badge as a boy scout. It’s a completely other to save people in real life while doing it!
This couple in Hawaii recently went hiking with their dog. While on the hike they got lost. It just so happened that a 12-year-old Boy Scout was out with his mom, trying to earn his merit badge for hiking in that same area. When the scout and his mom came across the couple they led them back to safety. Sadly their dog’s feet were so scraped up, it couldn’t walk. Using his scout skills he managed to fashion together a stretcher out of a big tree branch and some t-shirts, and they carried the dog the rest of the way back.
Amazing! Give this kid all the badges and awards.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why did we start shaking hands?
When the pandemic started in 2020 we all stopped shaking hands for a while. But I feel like hand shaking is coming back now. Why did we start shaking hands in the first place?
Way back in times of war and battle it was originally to show that you were unarmed. It to show you trust and believe the other person you’re coming up to wasn’t going to take their sword out to fight you or try to kill you.
All these years later it’s just a nice gesture and less about being weary about sword fights.
