Grandma Accidentally Texts A Teen About Thanksgiving Plans, And Her Reaction Is Brilliant

ADVERTISEMENT

Usually, a text or call to the wrong number ends up with an apology, but not this time…

On Tuesday, 17-year-old Jamal Hinton received a group text from an unknown number confirming Thanksgiving details. The sender called herself grandma, so Hinton asked her to send a pic just to be sure. Turns out… Not his grandma! Hinton then responded with his own picture to let her know she’s texting the wrong grandson, and added: “Can I still get a plate tho?” She responded: “Of course you can, that’s what grandmas do … feed everyone.” And it turns out Hinton really might be attending the Thanksgiving dinner. Amanda, the real grandson’s girlfriend, told Buzzfeed that they’re confirming real plans with Hinton “right now”. What a spontaneous way to start a new friendship!

Hinton shared a screenshot of the hilarious conversation on Twitter, and it went viral since with over 382 likes and 181 retweets. Check out the full conversation below!

More info: Twitter (h/t)

Here’s Justin, the real grandson, and his girlfriend Amanda, who says they’re confirming real plans with Hinton “right now”

We’re totally rooting for Hinton to attend! Are you?

That is what Thanksgiving is all about. The kindness from giving and sharing. This will be a modern day version of the original Thanksgiving. I'm glad he was still invited anyway.

You are the only one that found the one negative thing out of this beautiful story, I bet you tell everyone what they are getting for CHRISTmas.

Who said that you cannot? Just put somewhere paper with, lets say five, stripes with phone number saying 'If you want to enjoy Thanksgiving diner with fan of Vampire dairies who studied medicine on Princeton and works as nurse, take a strip and call me.' (All those info I fabricated, no identification with actual persons (living or deceased) was intended.) Maybe you will get some new friends.

This story is the embodiment of Thanksgiving. People getting together to spend time with each other, regardless of gender, race or social status - we need more of this in our world today. What a sweet lady for inviting him! I hope he is able to make it.

Thanks giving shouldn't be about anti anything, it's focusing on what you're thankful for not what you're Opposed to
