Grandmother's Accidental Thanksgiving Text to Random Teen Leads to Heartwarming Viral Story

Jamal Hinton isn't Wanda Delch's grandson, but she invited him to her holiday dinner anyway

Jamal Hinton was confused by the Thanksgiving dinner invitation he got from an unknown number, but the misplaced missive has led to a heartwarming cross-generational meet-up, NBC News reports.

The high school senior from Phoenix was included on a group text Tuesday indicating that Thanksgiving dinner would be served at 3 p.m. this year.

"I thought it was either a wrong number or my grandma learned how to use a phone correctly," Hinton told NBC News. 

But when he asked for a photo, the woman who wrote back was a stranger to him. But she's a grandma, and when he jokingly asked if he could still get a plate, Wanda Delch replied that she'd be happy to.
