Helen Donahue, an LA-based writer and social marketing specialist, took to Twitter Monday afternoon to share an 11-year-old story involving an Olive Garden. “In 2008 i went to olive garden (denton, tx) n a boy (maybe 12?) ran past me on my way out of the bathroom crying ‘mom! sh*t’s running down my pants!'” wrote Donahue. “It’s been 10 years n i wanna find the kid who shit himself in that olive garden pls help me find him twitter i kno he’s out there.”

Ask and you shall receive. Less than 24 hours later and Donahue’s prayers were answered. She found him. She found the kid who sh*t his pants in a Texas Olive Garden over a decade ago. Incredibly enough, he hasn’t at all shied away from his identity—In fact, he seems to be the that reached out to Donahue.
“I think I was the kid you saw,” he messaged her. “At the Olive Garden. I used to live in the Denton area and I remember sh*tting myself in an Olive Garden,” he wrote. “100% serious.”
He also provided some context:
“At first I couldn’t believe it but after a background check to assert time & place, detailed account that matched mine, & photos of a chubby face I’ve never been able to forget,” she wrote.

“I can verify it’s him.”
Twitter was impressed.
Many couldn’t help but see this serendipitous occasion as a tweet meet-cute.
