Thanksgiving is that time of year when we indulge in endless feasts and dodge awkward family conversations. Amidst the holiday hustle, one grandma has become a viral sensation after mistakenly messaging a stranger about her festive plans.
Seventeen-year-old Ethan, hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, received a text detailing the time and place of a Thanksgiving gathering. The catch? It wasn’t meant for him. Curious about the unfamiliar number, he asked the sender for a photo, leading to quite the entertaining exchange.
Right from the get-go, it was clear this wasn’t your average grandma—she’s got emoji skills and a hint of sass. Her cheeky response, “Your grandma,” had Ethan chuckling. To confirm the mix-up, he sent back a selfie to prove they weren’t related. But instead of cutting ties, Ethan decided to see if he could crash this unexpected Thanksgiving dinner.
Her delightful response? “Of course you can! That’s what grandmas do.” Seriously, how heartwarming is that? Thanksgiving is all about gathering and appreciating what we have, and Ethan couldn’t agree more. “If I was invited to their Thanksgiving for real, yes, I would go,” he shared. “I would consider us as friends!”
Ethan took to Twitter to share the hilarious back-and-forth, ensuring that this delightful grandma gets the recognition she deserves. Unsurprisingly, people have fallen head over heels for her warm-heartedness.
