One day Andy (7 years old) came home from school, during
the lessons he kept talking with his friends non-stop
The Teacher warned him again and again and told him to
be quiet servel time but he wouldn't stop.
When he arrived his mom asked him:"How was school honey?"
Andy said:"Fine mom"
"Mrs. Smith said you were talking the whole time
and that got to stop. Understood?"
"OK"
andy said and turned away
"Wait a minute!
Did you really thought I would let you go to your room
Without teaching you a lesson young man"?
"I bought you something that would help you control your
little Mouth"
She said and open a drawer and took out something silvery
That was round and shiny...
Andy recongised it, it was a big roll of duct tape
She grabed Andys ear with her right hand and took him by it
to his room while holding the duct tape roll in her left
hand.
She sat andy on his bed for a serious talk about his
talking
problem who became her problem since she was his mother
and she want him to leason to the lessons and not to talk
during them.
"I am sorry I talked in school today mom it won't happen
again I promise"
"And I'm sorry for doing this"
She said as she was pulling a wide piece of tape off the
roll
"But you need to learn how to control your mouth"
She put the piece on his tiny mouth and pressed it tight
With the palms of her hands to his mouth from the center
of the face to the cheeks.
"look at you now... you look so silly with your mouth taped
like that"
And then she left Andy in his room to think it over.
Andy just sat there confused and had no idea what to do,
should he take the tape off? or should he leave it on?
If he took it off he wouldn't have that annoying feeling
of cold stickness on his lower face.
But if he will do that his mom will get upset and tape it
back with who know how many pieces of tape!
and it would just be painfull to remove it, why to remove
it if it just would be put back on?
he doesn't have a reason to use his mouth any way.
About 3 hours passed when suddenly Andys mom called him to
the kitchen, it was dinner time.
Andy sat at the table when and his mom put the meal on the
table.
"Well Andy... you can't eat if your mouth is like that,
I'm going to take the tape off of your mouth for now but
after dinner its bed time and you are not going to talk
even in your sleep if you know what I mean"
She reached for andys face and grabed the edge of the duct
tape piece, she started slowly to remove it. Andy felt the
tape trying to keep a hold of his mouth the stickness began
to slowly fade away.
His mom stop when she began to see Andys mouth, half of it
looked like it refused to be released from the duct tape
piece.
While still holding the tape with her right hand she grabed
with the fingers of her left hand the lips of Andy with the
upper lip between her index finger and her middle finger
the lower lip was between her middle finger and her little
finger.
"I hope that if I grab your lips while I take it off then
it will hurt less" she said and pulled the tape off all the
way.
It maybe hurt less but Andy felt like his mouth was taken
off with the tape it self.
While Andy ate his mom looked at the sticky side of the
piece that not long ago was shuting her sons mouth, she saw
the mark that his mouth left on the tape.
After Andy finished his dinner his mom wiped his mouth with
a hencky so that his mouth will be clean to be 100% taped
to a piece.
She picked up the duct tape roll she used early on and went
with Andy to his room for bed time
"If you will talk in class tomorrow I will bring home even
a stronger tape from my work"
She then took a new piece off the roll and put it on Andys
mouth, when andy felt the stickness of the tape again he
mumbled into it with a short "mmmph". He had nothing to say
but he did it any way.
"I know honey..."
His mom said and smiled a small smile at her kid
"Time to read you a story!"
after she finished reading Andy a story and he was helf
asleep half awake she told him:"I hope that tomorrow you'll
be quiet in class, remember... this is for your own good"
She put the duck tape roll on the TV andy had in his room
sat next to him now fully asleep, she ran her finger on his
nose and left.
Andy dreamed 2 wierd dreams the first one he was in prison
and the prison guards were bunch of duct tape rolls with
mouths on them this time it wasn't his it was theirs they
told him to shut up every time he even opened his mouth!
In the second dream he was in class and Mrs. Smith was
shushing him with her index finger broght to her lips and
screaming at him 'ssssshhhh' all the time and was holding a
duct tape roll in the same hand.
Andy looked around him instead of the pupils duck tape
rolls were at the desks.
He woked up to a beautiful morning, the birds was singing
and the sun was up in the sky.
He saw the duct tape roll on the TV it was shining from the
light of the sun on it.
Andy reached for his mouth and felt the smoothness of the
tape. He puffed his cheeks and the tape held perfectly
fine. His mother was as the entery of his room and
said:"Good morning cuty. Who well did you sleep last
night?".
Andy said:"Fifffe".
"What"
"fffim"
"Oops, sorry I forgot"
Said his mother in a big luagh
"Dress up for school you have one hour to be ready.
I guess 'fffim' means you slept fine"
Andy nodded in approvle.
When Andy was down ready for breakfest his mom did the same
thing as yesterday and took the tape off of Andy.
"Oh no... you got a tape rash"
Said his mom. "I hope that the new tape won't be necessery
today"
She dropped him at school after breakfest.
During school Andy did his best trying not too talk but
after few hours he got bored and start talking during the
final lesson.
Mrs. Smith turned and asked Andy to be quiet few time to no
avail. After school was over Mrs. Smith called Andy to her
office, when Andy entered he saw his mom sitting in a chair
smiling at him:"Hey honey"...
Mrs. Smith enter after him sat at her chair and told Andys
mom:" Dear Mrs. Jones I called you here today because Andys
talking problem is over... almost... he was still talking
during the final lesson. I don't know what you did last
night but it realy helped you should keep it up".
Andys mom smiled.
"I will".
"And by the way Mrs. Jones will you do something about that
rash he has below his nose"?
After the conversation Andys mom drove him for a little
visit at her work place: A small local hospital.
They entered her office:"The office of nurse Jone".
"?Do you know why I broght you here Andy"
"I guess you broght me here to bring home the 'new tape'
that you talked about. I'm sorry. I deserve it""
Said Andy.
His mom reached he huge roll of tape that was on her desk,
it was white colored
"Since you are such a smart boy I'll teach you what makes
this tape stornger...
This is microfoam tape this roll is a 3' inch size.
as you can see it is white. It has more power that normal
tape and it sticks real good to skin but most importantly
it loves to stick to the mouth of little boys who talks
during school time... as I said it is very strong as you
will feel when we will arrive home."
They drove back home and Andy hope for a flat tire which
will leave his mouth a little more being free time.
They entered home and Andy tried to go upstares but his
mother placed a firm hand on his shoulder.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Andy heard the sound of ripping tape and froze in his
place. he slowly turned around and saw his mother holding a
wide big piece but instead of putting it on him she put it
a side on the table and took from her pocket a small rope
she put the rope through the tape roll and tied it around
Andys neck like a necklace.
"This way you will be ready any time I need to shut you up"
She took the piece from the desk and brought it foward
Andys mouth... Andy closed his eyes and felt the tape touch
his skin, Hugging is mouth strongly with no intetion to
realse it.
"and I thought duct tape made you look silly..."
Said is mom as she held the tape firmly on Andy
"I invated your teacher Mrs. Smith to
see what she needs too do to you in class in order to keep
you listening not talking."
An hour passed and there was a knock on the door, Andy was
sitting with his mother on the couch they were watching her
favorite soap opera. during this time his mother held the
sides of the tape pushing toward Andy for the whole hour!
She finally left it and went to open the door.
Mrs. Smith entered the house and saw Andy:"What have you
done to him?" she asked Andys mom.
"Thats the only way to make him shut up" she replied
"Taping his whole lower face? whats that on TV? wait a
minute thats my favorite soap opera!"
"Sit down Mrs. Smith lets watch it"
Andy tried to say hello to his teacher:"Hmm, mmss Smimm".
And just like in school she shushed him!
Andy was sitting between the two womens and watch the show,
he hated it but he couldn't get up and go to his room
because his mother order him to sit with them. he couldn't
yawn because his mouth was seriously taped with that
microfoam tape.
When the show was finally over Andys mouther and teacher
sat for a talk with Andy still forced to sit with them.
"I used duct tape yesterday but since he still talked today
I used microfoam tape on his tiny mouth. Maybe you can use
it at school?"
"I can't. they will fire me for that and accept of it don't
you think you're overeacting"?
"Do you have kids Mrs.Smith"?
"Yes".
"There are some days you just want to shut them up ,I
belive"
"Yes. But I still can't used it on school"
After discussioning about it they deiced to you skin
colored stickers with lips printed on them.
Mrs. Smith said goodby too Andy and his mother and went
home.
Andys mom did the same as she did the previous night
But this time Andy had problem to sleep...
He wiggle his mouth puffed his chicks as much as he could
but his mouth had no chance.
The day after he went to school, his mother took the
microfoam off his mouth before they left home.
Andy arrived to the class first his teacher was waiting for
him she opened her desk drawer and took a sticker that had
a mouth painted on it. she smiled as she taped Andys mouth
real good and pressed it on his mouth with alot of strengh
"No you no longer have he rash"
She said and then she wispered in his ear
"Or a mouth"
She sat Andy at the last desk so no one will see that he is
gagged.
When Andy arrive home his mom asked him "How was school
honey?"
But Andy didn't speak
"Why aren't you answering?"
Andy then mumbled:"mmmmph, mmmm,mmm"
"Oh I get it Mrs. Smith used the mouth like sticker
Ok, I'll take it off now you can talk in home again Andy.
Look at the bright side... you have only more 11 years for
being with your mouth taped at school"
And she took off Andys 'mouth' so he can talk and move his
real mouth.
The end.
