If there’s one thing the internet loves, it’s cats. We all know this, but a close second is grandmas. Something about a wholesome grandma doing a Tik Tok dance or swearing like a sailor just brings joy to people. We’ve put together a collection of grandmas gone viral in the last few years that will surely bring a smile to your face.

Thanksgiving Grandma
Back in 2016, a grandma accidentally texted the wrong number, inviting a man she didn’t know, Jamal Hinton, to Thanksgiving dinner. When they realized she had the wrong number, he asked if he could still attend to which she replied, “Of course you can. That’s what grandmas do…feed everyone.” The two still spend Thanksgiving together four years later.
