Boy Cuts off the Electricity So His Family Would Spend Time Together, but Ends up Uncovering a Family Secret — Story of the Day

Kevin missed the good old days when his family spent time together, but now everyone seemed distant. His brother Jake was always on his phone, his dad Norman was buried in work, and his mom Kate cried behind closed doors. Determined to fix things, Kevin devised a bold plan: he cut the power to the house.

Without electricity, confusion filled the house as the family gathered in the dim living room. With no distractions, Kevin proposed they play a board game, and reluctantly, they agreed. As they played by candlelight, the tension eased. Laughter soon replaced the silence, and even Jake put his phone down to join in the fun.

An electrician arrived to fix the power, but Kate decided to leave the lights off, preferring the warmth of the moment they were sharing. For the first time in months, Kevin felt like his family was connected again.

The next morning, Kevin spotted something in the trash—shredded divorce papers. His heart swelled with hope. His plan had not only brought them together for one night, but it had also sparked something deeper. Kevin believed that, despite their challenges, they could heal and rediscover the happiness they once had as a family.
