Dave is new to the idea of being stay at home dad. He loved his three sons Tucker, Hardy, and Boris, but they had a tendency to overwhelm anyone who tried to babysit them.
The boys were triplets and after eight years working he decides to reverse the roles and let his wife become the breadwinner.
Today was Dave's first time watching the boys on his own, his wife warned him the can be a handful. As he walked her out to the car Tom brushed it off figuring she was being dramatic. None the less she instructed him to the list of numbers and her new office number.
"It'll be fine. They are my boys what's the worst that could happen?" He asked blowing off her forewarning.
His wife looked at him like he was a fool, before slamming the car door shut and driving off leaving Dave to handle watching the boys.
He waved to her from the sidewalk before he turned around to see the boys standing by the front windows watching him.
He walked to the door and tried to open it, to his surprise the door was locked.
"Boys! Open up the door Daddy's locked out." He banged on the front door.
The boys laughed as it was becoming clear to him that they had planned this. He ran around to the back door and was met from the other side by one of the triplets who danced in front if the locked sliding door mocking him.
Dave was getting frustrated he didn't want to call his wife to turn around but it was getting close to a possibility. However when he felt the side of his pocket he noticed he left his phone and keys in the house.
"Oh great." He said to himself. Looking around the side he remembered his bedroom window was open and he snuck around to try and climb in through that.
He was ecstatic to see the window and screen slid open with ease. He climbed in through and spilled out onto the carpet of his bed room.
The house was oddly silent as he picked himself up to go and find the boys. Walking around his bed he called out.
"Boys? Very funny, once I find you it's gonna be time for a time out." He said wondering where they were hiding.
As he got to the door he found himself falling over onto the floor yet again. Only this time he had a trip wire his sons had booby trapped to thank. As he laid face first he could hear Boris yell.
"Charge!"
The boys jumped on Dave's back and the two secured his wrists with rope they had stolen from the work shed.
"Tie the robber up boys, the chief over at the junior station will be very proud of us detaining him!" Said Tucker as they sat on his back.
Hardy and Boris tied his legs and ankles leaving Tom to flop around like a fish.
"Boys, very funny but untie me now." Dave said trying to find the humor in his situation.
"Silence scum! It's perps like you breaking into nice peoples houses that make me sick." Tucker said sitting on Dave's shoulders.
Dave was surprised how into this game the boys were and decided it couldn't hurt to play along.
"I'll be out soon copper and then I'll take my revenge on the three of ya!" Dave said in a put on criminal voice.
"We have a robber with an attitude problem, I say we gag him." Said Boris.
"Gag me?!" Dave said confused.
Before he could say more he felt something soft and salty be crammed into his mouth. Peering down at the long black tail of it he could see they were his own socks from the hamper.
"Mmph!" Dave groaned in total disgust.
He tried his best to spit out the socks but felt the grip of white athletic tape wrap around his head not one, not two, but three times.
"Prisoner detained chief!" Hardy said with his foot on Dave's back like he bagged huge game.
"Great guard him here in his cell while me and officer Boris go retrieve the cookies from the top of the fridge."
Tucker and Boris left Hardy there to guard Dave while the pilfered the fridge. Hardy looked over at his father reduced to the status of prisoner in his own home.
