my name is wade, im 13 and live in georgia. ive been playing cops and robbers ever since i can remember. my cousin connor is older, he always pushed me to play and really got into police and military type games. he likes to make it as real as possible. if me and whoever else is playing are wearing shorts and tshirts, connor still wears cammo pants and shirt, gun belt, boots , whatever else to really play the part.
the first time he made it a "tug" instead of just pointing toy guns and me holding my hands up, i was about 8 and he was 12. i was just running like i always do until he caught up to me and was able to get a gun in my face. i put my hands up like i always do too. then he told me to lay down on the ground and put my hands on my head. that was different but it was cool because it was more like what we saw police do on tv. so i thought that was awesome that he would add that, i was just 8 but that made me feel like we were playing REAL cops and robbers lol.
then he patted me down like searching for weapons (i only had a little gun that i already dropped when he first caught me). then he moved my arms off my head and brought them behind my back. he started tying them, and i thought crap this is even MORE awesome! that was the first time i had ever been tied up at all, i didnt know what to think. i didnt get scared, but i didnt really know what would happen to me. i knew he was just having fun so i didnt worry. he helped me up and took me to our jail which was the area under the slide on his swingset. i sat on the ground there and he said "try to get out." i did after a couple of minutes of just squirming and loosening it. (since then i almost never escaped from him, but he wasnt as good at tying then.)
i know that story isnt good at all, but it was the very first one, and i was just 8 and didnt pay a lot of attention to detail. ill try writing more cause he kept changing it and making it better, hes still learning more ways to "tug". a lot of times its the same tho, after this story there were a bunch of times we played cops and robbers and he tied my hands. fun every time tho
