then i went to Germany with the scouts and when i got back i had a new story that i decided to share instead, so i forgot all about this story for a long time. but now I've decided that it's about time that i shared this story.
anyway, let's get the story started.
At The Day Care
this story takes place sometime in the mid 90s'. it was my last summer before i would start in the first grade, and it was a warm but cloudy day.
i will start by describing myself (Steffen) back then. i had dark blond hair in the summer but brown in the winter (kinda the opposite of a weasel

the main person this story will be focusing on was one of the employees at the day care.
her name was Tone. she was a tall woman and one of the youngest employees at the day care with long dark brown hair, brown eyes and always had a smile prepared. unlike the other employees there she would never yell at us if we did something that was against the rules. she might raise her voice but she didn't yell.
among the other kids that where involved was Stephen, a skinny dude with dark hair who always would be the leader of our games. he had declared himself the king of the day care center.
Thomas, a rather short kid with light blond hair. the kinda kid that was easy to get along with as he always tried to find a peacefull solution.
Tor, a tall guy for his age with REALLY bright blond hair (Norway, 80% of the population is blond) and was the kinda guy that always was in for almost any kind of games.
Birgitte, a cute girl with shoulder length medium blond hair. i honestly don't remember much about her or what she was like except that i went to a carnival with her once where she dressed up like a princess while i was dressed up like Aladdin.
the last character i fell like needs to be mentioned is T.L.
T.L. was a girl with light blond hair that was very long. i think she most have been one of the girls i played the most with at the day care. we would always hang out and play pretty much anything together, and today was no different.
the day care center i was at was kinda special. it was next to an football field (as in soccer) and across you could find a big hill with a forest where we used to say trolls where living.
there was also 3 big caves about 100 meters away, so including the playground we had a lot of options for outdoor activity.
T.L. and i was playing tag next to the football field and Birgitte was talking to Tone who was sitting on a deck close to the parking lot for the employees.
suddenly Stephen and Tor came behind her with a jump rope. if you read my stories before then it's no secret that i already had a certain interest in TUGs back at this age, so obviously i went over to watch, so did T.L.
Thomas also showed up rather fast and before i knew it Stephen shouted "GOTCHA" as they got the rope around Tone's upper body.
Tone was quick on realizing what game was going on and started acting like a damsel in distress.
"oh no, help" she said as she made a puppy face.
"Tor! Thomas! hurry up and tie her properly" Stephen shouted with a really bossy voice.
"aye aye captain" Tor said and did like he was told.
Tone kept her acting going "my oh my, what am i going to do"
of course a lot more kids where starting to get attracted to scene of the crime but most of us where just watching.
"now you are our captive, and you can't escape" Stephen said while pointing his finger at her.
truth is she most likely could have escaped if she wanted to, after all it was just a jump rope that went 3 times around her body at her elbows.
but we didn't know that


"help... help..." Tone was staring into the skies as she kept up her poorly acting.
"so Tone, when is your baby coming?" Birgitte suddenly asked (probably what they had talked about before Tone got captured)
Tone looked down at her stomach, we all knew she was pregnant but it was still early.
"that is still a long time from now sweetie" she said with a smile.
"hey, no talking" Stephen shouted "you are our captive"
Tone started her poor acting again "what can i do to get free then?" she said.
suddenly T.L. decided to talk "how about if you sing a song" she said quietly.
"yeah, sing a song" Tor said.
"what song then?"
Birgitte seemed to give it a though "how about bah bah black sheep?"
Tone started singing, and she had a lovely voice for these kind of songs.
"another one" Thomas said.
"can you sing the Winnie the Pooh song?" someone requested.
and once again she did like requested. after she had singed she said "am i free to go now?"
"a promise is a promise" Thomas said and looked at Stephen who didn't seem to like the idea of letting the captive go.
"oh, fine. just untie her" he said and stepped aside.
Tor started working on the knot and removed the rope "there you go" he said.
"thank you very much" Tone said.
even though i didn't have anything to do at all with this TUG it was still a memorable moment for me. the rest of the day i just played around with mostly T.L. until my dad arrived in our Opel and picked me up.
i got into the front seat and he asked me how the day was.
"it was great".
