Grandmother who texted the wrong teen for Thanksgiving will share her fourth holiday with him
Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton are a pair of unlikely friends. All it took to bring them together was a couple of texts to the wrong number.
Dench meant to text her grandson to invite him to her 2016 Thanksgiving dinner, but she reached Hinton instead. Then she doubled down on the invitation, and he showed up to her house for a plate full of turkey.
This year, the pals will reunite for their fourth Thanksgiving feast. With their partners in tow, they’ll play board games, eat plenty of green bean casserole and catch each other up.
“We don’t watch TV or anything. We just sit at the table for a couple of hours and talk the whole time and tell stories and see how we’ve been,” Hinton told Time ahead of their 2019 meal.
How it all started
Dench, a grandmother of six based in Mesa, texted then 17-year-old Hinton while he was in class at his Phoenix high school. He was confused that someone claiming to be his grandma had texted him.
She sent a smiling selfie of herself at work. She wasn’t his grandma, but he asked if he could still have a plate.
“Of course you can,” she replied. “That’s what grandmas do…feed everyone!”
So he showed up at her home to share the meal. It was a splashy occasion — a local TV crew showed up to document their meeting. The two were fast friends.
“He was just as nice as can be,” Dench told CNN in 2016. “We got to eat food, and he told me about his plans for the future, and I’m just so excited for him.”
Hinton sang her praises, too: “She’s a great cook and she’s a great person to just hang out with,” he told Time.
Close friends
The two have remained close since sharing their first turkey dinner, and their friendship isn’t limited to the Thanksgiving table. Dench and her husband visited a pumpkin patch with Hinton and his girlfriend in October, and Hinton told the New York Post he regularly texts the grandmother to keep each other updated.
They’re not sure just how they’ll spend this year’s holiday, since Hinton just moved into a new apartment with his girlfriend in Tempe. But on Twitter, he teased a YouTube video to document the reunion.
“We are both very happy and grateful that we could be the centerpiece to such an amazing story and bring joy and faith in so many different people,” he said.
The post Grandmother who texted the wrong teen for Thanksgiving will share her fourth holiday with him appeared first on CNN.
F*ck
2020 is the thanos of this new century
And for all our jokes
it is actually heartwarming that this relationship was in fact genuine
In a time of social media fake outs, racism, divisiveness and hatred
Rest in peace and condolences to all the family and friends.
This shyt isn't potato salad anymore!
Man, people will find the negative in anything.
This was a great (and unlikely) story that continued for years. In short, I doubt it was a hoax.
Thanks for sharing, OP. Hate to hear Lonnie did not make it through COVID. Terrible part of a wonderful story.

If you read the comments Most people are thinking Wanda is the white lady and LONNIE IS THE BLACK GUY...smh
R.I.P.
Shit just look at the profile picture and name
Truth be told. I would have felt awkward if any stranger showed up. Not a race issue, but comfort and hospitality being tested.
Edit: just saw the text. Nothing special about this. The kid got strength to show up to half unwelcoming household.

I dont think most people even knew their names, I know I didn’t, so when they put that pic of Jamal and Wanda with Lonnie in the background people were thinking Jamal was Lonnie based on the caption. The husband has never been a part of the story, it’s always been about the woman and young man
Sadly THAT part of the internet apparently is here to stay.
Jamal is the black guy. He is the one who gave the updates.
Damn.
