WHO NEEDS A dose of the warm fuzzies? Because we’ve got some right here for you.
Earlier this month, Arizona woman Wanda Dench sent a text to her grandson inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner – what she didn’t realise is that she’d gotten the number wrong, and sent a text to 17-year-old Jamal Hinton instead.
The thing is, Dench truly meant it. She extended a real invitation to Hinton to have dinner with her, and he joined the Dench crew yesterday for a quick bite before running off to his own family get-together.
Whoops!

Dench told CNN that she was delighted to get the chance to chat to him:
He was just as nice as could be. We got to eat food, and he told me about his plans for the future, and I am just so excited for him.

This granny kept her word and fed a stranger she accidentally invited to Thanksgiving dinner
WHO NEEDS A dose of the warm fuzzies? Because we’ve got some right here for you.
Earlier this month, Arizona woman Wanda Dench sent a text to her grandson inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner – what she didn’t realise is that she’d gotten the number wrong, and sent a text to 17-year-old Jamal Hinton instead.
Assuming it was his own grandmother texting off a new number, he asked her for a picture:
Yep. Not his grandma.
After they cleared things up, Hinton jokingly asked if he could still head down for dinner on Thanksgiving anyway. And Dench said yes:
Aww.
Hinton, amused at the exchange, posted the screenshots of the texts on Twitter, where they were retweeted hundreds of thousands of times.
The thing is, Dench truly meant it. She extended a real invitation to Hinton to have dinner with her, and he joined the Dench crew yesterday for a quick bite before running off to his own family get-together.
