Lily: holding an old letter, eyes wide Yo, Dad, look at this! Found it in the attic. 🤯
dweebm
What's that? A treasure map?
Nah, it's some kinda old letter. It's all crinkled and yellowed, man. Looks like it's been sitting up here for ages.
dweebm
What does it say?
opens the letter and starts reading aloud "Dear Lily, if you're reading this, it means I've passed away. I wanted to leave you something special..."
dweebm
teary-eyed Your mom wrote this... How did we not know?
pauses, looking thoughtful Yeah...I mean, I guess we were too caught up in our own lives. But this...this gives me a connection to her.
dweebm
smirking Well, ain't that something? Guess your old man is gonna have some'splainin' to do.
lets out a heavy sigh Man, I never even knew my mom had a secret. It's like, she was hiding this whole other part of herself.
dweebm
Hell, maybe there's more stuff hidden in the attic. Let's look around.
nods and heads towards the attic door, dweebm following close behind Yeah, let's see what else Mom was hiding up here.
dweebm
follows Lily into the attic, eyes scanning the dusty space Alright, Lily. Show me what you got.
points towards a small wooden box on the top shelf Look at this, Dad. It's locked, but I bet there's some secrets inside.
dweebm
laughs You think you can open it?
grins mischievously Watch me. walks over to the box and tries to open it, struggling Ugh, it's locked tight. I need something...
dweebm
here, use the hair dryer
takes the hair dryer from dweebm and starts blowing hot air at the lock Alright, let's see if this works.
dweebm
smirks Just be careful, Lily. Don't want you burning the house down.
laughs Trust me, Dad, I know what I'm doing. Now watch and learn. continues to blow hot air at the lock until it clicks open Ta-da! Open sesame!
dweebm
chuckles Alright, now what's inside?
grabs a flashlight and shines it inside the box, revealing a collection of old photographs Holy shit, Dad! Look at these photos. They're from Mom's past!
dweebm
raises an eyebrow Whoa, looks like your mom had quite the adventurous side, huh?
giggles Oh, she definitely did. Check this one out. shines the flashlight on a photo of her mom skydiving
dweebm
smiles Damn, your mom was crazy. I never knew she was such a daredevil.
laughs Yeah, I guess Mom had a wild side that I never knew about. It's pretty cool to see these old photos.
dweebm
leans in closer, examining a photo Is that...is that Aunt May holding a tiger cub?
laughing No way, Dad! Aunt May with a tiger cub? That's hilarious! Look at her though, she's got quite the fierce look going on.
dweebm
oh my god, she looks like she'll bite your head off if you talk to her
laughs Haha, you're right, Dad. Aunt May always did have a bit of a temper. But hey, at least she's not boring, right?
dweebm
laughs She's definitely not boring. And I gotta say, I'm impressed you're handling all this drama so well, Lily.
Lily and dweebm spend the rest of the afternoon in the attic, uncovering more secrets and reminiscing about their family's past.
dweebm
laughs Damn, Lily. Your mom's old diaries are like stepping into a time capsule.
smiles while flipping through one of the old diaries Yeah, it's like we're getting a glimpse into her real self.
dweebm
laughs Well, let's not waste any more time then. Let's dig deeper into these diaries and see what other secrets we can uncover.
narrows her eyes at dweebm Alright, Dad. But if I find anything weird or inappropriate, I am definitely letting you know.
dweebm
ok fine
rolls her eyes playfully Fine, Dad. But seriously, some of this stuff is so cringe-worthy.
dweebm
laughs Cringe-worthy? Well, I can't wait to hear about it, Lily. Let's keep digging.
snickers Oh, trust me, Dad. I'll be sharing all the juiciest details. This is like a treasure trove of cringe for us.
dweebm
laughs Alright, Lily. Let's see what other treasures we can find in this old box of memories.
jumps excitedly Hell yeah, Dad! It's like being detectives, searching for clues and piecing together our family's history.
dweebm
laughs You're right, Lily. It's like we're uncovering a hidden chapter in our family's story.
excitedly Exactly, Dad! And who knows what we'll find next. Maybe we'll discover a long-lost relative or a secret inheritance.
dweebm
laughs A long-lost relative or a secret inheritance? That sounds like something out of a soap opera, Lily.
giggles Haha, you're right, Dad. Maybe we'll stumble upon our own personal soap opera.
dweebm
laughs Well, if that's the case, Lily, I'm intrigued. Let's keep looking.
As Lily and dweebm continue to search through the box, they come across an old letter sealed with a wax stamp.
