According to their original statements, Jamal Hinton had accidentally received a text message from Wanda Dench on the 2016 Thanksgiving Day.

Wanda had texted her grandson back, then invited him for the Thanksgiving dinner.

To be clear, Wanda’s 24-year-old grandson had exchanged his cell number with the teenaged Hinton back in 2016.

Without knowing the confusion among these two, both Hinton and Wanda kept texting.

They had even sent each other selfies to confirm each other’s identity.

After the confusion was cleaned up, Hinton had asked if he could still join her for dinner.

As the kind-hearted woman that Wanda is, she invited him for dinner.

Moreover, her reply said, “Of course you can. That’s what grandmas do … feed everyone,” was what won everyone’s hearts, per People.

The story went viral back in the day; meanwhile, Hinton and Wanda found a new bond as humans that day.

Since then, the two have kept their Thanksgiving dinner tradition alive even to this day.

Not to be surprised, many people from their lives have started to grow close and formed a family friendship currently.
