The grandma, named Wanda, was texting her family, inviting everyone to a Thanksgiving celebration, when she accidentally typed in a wrong number and invited 17-year-old Jamal Hinton– a total stranger– to dinner.

Instead of just ignoring the text, Jamal responded to Wanda’s invitation.

Check out the screen-shots of the hilarious conversation:

Jamal tweeted the screenshots saying “Somebody[‘s] grandma is coming in clutch this year!!”

Jamal’s tweet quickly went viral; it has been retweeted almost 200,000 times and has nearly 400,000 likes. Everyone loves Grandma Wanda, the kind woman who invited a complete stranger to dinner… and still wanted him to come even after she realized she’d texted the wrong number!

The story created a special bond between the two and yesterday they finally met in person!

“She is a very sweet lady, she told me her husband was a veteran and she always invited his friends over for dinner, so she’s used to having a lot of people over,”the Desert Vista High School student told People. “I just got a vibe from her that made me feel at home.â€

The teen says their two families will be getting together for the Thanksgiving meal.

“I’m bringing the pumpkin pie! I honestly think we’ll hang out again. It’s the power of technology, you know? But for a good reason.â€

But in case you’re thinking about texting Wanda to get in on the feast, she has since changed her phone number.
