Nobody Is Allowed near Old Lady’s Trinket Box, Grandson Sees It and Slams It Open — Story of the Day
A boy sneaks into his grandmother’s room and throws her old trinket box on the ground when he’s unable to open it. What he discovers inside freezes his mother in place.
“Elizabeth! What the hell are you doing here? How many times have I told you not to enter my room in my absence!” Mrs. Gallagher yelled at her daughter as she returned to her room one evening.

“I get it, mom; I won’t do it again; I’m sorry,” Elizabeth said quietly as she exited the room.

She tried everything she could to track down her husband, from classified ads to posters to police reports, and even traveled to Scotland in search of him, but it was all in vain. Mrs. Gallagher gave up hope when Tom was not found, and she decided she would never speak about him again, even to his daughter.
When little Elizabeth was born, Mrs. Gallagher made sure her daughter never missed out on anything and provided her with everything. If Elizabeth wanted something, she got it! However, just like everyone else, Mrs. Gallagher had strictly told Elizabeth not to enter her room ever...
