A story
Ok this is a story from years ago, never mind how many. I can’t remember how old I was at the time, just that my brother was 2 years younger.
We were watching TV and little brother was being a bit of a pest as usual. He was trying to tickle my feet. We were both sat barefooted, we usually were most of summer in the house. Well he was trying to tickle my feet and I was pulling them away. Then he ran off to his room and came back with a couple of school ties and some bits of cloth. He tried to tie my feet together and I pulled them away and said “I’ll tie you up in a minute.â€
“Cool†he said and held his hands out in front. I wrapped a school tie round his wrists and tied a bow. I watched while he struggled for a bit then he managed to pull his hands free. “Your turn†he said.
I giggled and held my hands out. His knots were even worse than mine and I got out in about a couple of minutes.
“Your turn again.†I said. He held his hands out and I said “No behind you.†He put his hands behind him and I made a better job of tying his hands up. I wrapped it round his wrists and tied my best Girl Guide knots. This time he couldn’t get loose and I began to tickle him. He jumped up and went running out of the door with me chasing him, both of us laughing. All of a sudden we bumped into mum.
“What are you up to?†We both tried to spurt out our version of the story. “So you tied Stevie up then?â€
“Yes.†I said.
“Well maybe I should tie you.†She said.
We both giggled and ran back to the lounge where the ties and bits were and I held my hands out.
“No behind you she saidâ€. I held my hands behind me and she tied me with one of the bits of cloth. We both started to struggle and tried to run around.
“It’s a bit dangerous to run with your hands tied.†She said. “Sit downâ€. We both sat on the floor with our backs against the sofa. And mum picked up the other bits of cloth. She kknelt down and tied our feet together, all 4 together and gave us a little tickle. That was the first time my brother and I were tied up together by mum. We were only left for about 5-10 minutes until she untied us and we were nearly free before she let us go.
Well that’s my story for you.
