Being 9 years old, I wanted to play an April Fools joke on someone, but being 9 and not given to acts of mayhem, could not really think of anything. I just wanted to yell “April Fool.” During lunch I tried to think of a joke that involved salt, but everyone was watching. So my plan for mayhem fizzled. Tessa and Jean thought this was cute. Among other things that I did.
“Do you guys remember when you tied me up?” Tessa asked.
“Yes. Why do you bring this up?” Jean said.
“Last week, I let my kids tie me up,” Tessa said.
“Really? Why would you do that?” Jean said incredulous.
“They wanted to play a game. I suggested we play rescue the princess.”
“What’s that?” I asked.
“I pretended to be a Medieval princess who was kidnapped by bandits.”
“Were your kids the bandits?” Jean asked.
“The bandits and knights.” Jean and I laughed. I had played both sides in plenty of games, usually with Josh.
“Can we play?” I asked.
“What do you want to be? Bandit or hero?” Jean asked me.
“Both!”
“That’s so cute!” said Tessa, “My kids were fighting over it at first.”
“Al can play any part. Except the girls,” said Jean.
“Yup,” I said.
“I’ll play with you guys,” said Tessa, grinning.
“We can play, you guys have to start while I do the dishes,” said Jean. So Tessa, Ben and I went downstairs. Ben wanted to watch TV. As soon as he was happy, I charged Tessa but she caught me.
“Hold on a moment, how about this: you and I go get Jean,” she said with a huge grin.
“Okay!” I said. Tessa and I gathered up the tie up supplies. Tessa waited just inside the doorway to the unfurnished side of the basement, a foot or so away from the stairs. I went to wait with her, but I kept giggling. Tessa slapped her hand over my mouth. Now I wanted to hand gag her.
“Go wait with Ben,” Tessa told me. She let go and I followed her instructions. I wanted to see Tessa get Jean. Jean did not keep us waiting any longer.
“I’m coming,” she said. We could hear her footsteps. “Have you tied Tessa yet?” she said as she stepped off the stair. Tessa took this as a cue and pounced. She grabbed one of Jean’s hands and hand-gagged. Neither was very quiet. Jean fought back with her free hand. I imagined my minion had captured Princess Jean. But Princess Jean knew how to fight. Or I was grossly overpaying my henchwoman. The next thing I knew we were wrestling on the ground. Jean was free and trying to grab Tessa. I hand-gagged Tessa with both hands, then remembered released her and went after Jean who grabbed me, let go to fend off Tessa who retreated, grabbed me and let go. There was much grabbing of wrists and tickling any exposed areas. Laughter mixed with battle taunts. Then someone asked Ben for the rope. My brother obliged by picking up the rope and holding it to whoever was closest. I thought the au pairs had ganged up on me when they lifted me up and carried me to the bed. The melee continued there and ended when we got tangled in the rope. As we were untangling ourselves, we figured out who caught who.
“I think we’re all prisoners,” said Tessa.
“So who gets tied up?” I asked.
“We all get tied up,” said Jean.
“How do we do that?” I asked.
“Ben, can you help?” asked Tessa.
“Yes,” said Ben.
“Who ties up who?” said Jean.
“I want to tie up Tessa,” I said.
“I want to tie up Jean,” Tessa said.
“I want to tie up someone!” said Jean.
“We can take turns,” said Tessa. The rest of us agreed. Tessa and Jean flipped for turns. The loser got tied up first. Jean bound Tessa hands behind her back and gagged her with a cleave gag. Tessa sat on Jean bed and let her wrists be tied. Then Jean hand-gagged me from behind and tied me the same way next to Tessa. And she through a blanket on us. Tessa tried to escape. As the knight in shining armor, I had attempted to save Princess Tessa but fell into the Sorceress’s trap.
“If she hadn’t taken my sword,” I thought, “I could get out of here!” I could hear the Sorceress and her imp talking about what to do with us.
“Tie them to something,” Ben said.
“I’ve got it,” said the Sorceress. She took the blanket off of us.
“Wht nwh?” Tessa grunted. The Sorceress tied us back to back and threw the blanket back on. Tessa moaned quite a bit. Soon we were untied.
“Okay, now it’s my turn!” said Tessa. Her grin was back. She had a cute grin. Stay tuned.

I’m not a very good knight in shining armor. The other Sorceress kidnapped princess Jean and left her bound and gagged in the au pair’s room. Tessa tied Jean much the same way she had been tied, but did not use the same gag. Tessa thought that was unclean so she used scotch tape from my dad’s workbench. She tore off several dozen strips, enough to cover much of Jean’s face.
“Wmmhm!” Jean mumbled. She sat on the bed. Tessa had Jean sit Indian style and tied her legs that way. There was a little give that allowed Jean to shift her legs a little.
“I’ll save you Princess Jean!” I shouted. Next thing I knew Tessa had my hands behind my back. My wrists have always been thin, so Tessa had an easy time holding then with one hand. Then came the hand-gag. Tessa sat down on the bed with me this way on her lap.
“I don’t think I’ll tie you just yet,” said Tessa. Jean grunted a lot in response. To which Tessa responded, “You can do this anytime you want.” I attempted to mumble “I want to be tied with Jean.”
Tessa said, “What was that?” I mumbled incomprehensibly again.
“I’m sorry Al, I just can’t understand you, which is kind of the point.” At this point my brother was cracking up. “Alright,” she said, “might as well tie you up!” She released her grip on me and bound my hands behind my back. Then my ankles the traditional way; legs together. I sat on the bed with legs bent up hoping Tessa would tie Jean and me back-to-back. But Tessa had not been especially careful with the rope. One of the lengths had disappeared when Tessa and I were untied. Tessa went hunting around the basement for more. My brother had seen the rope get kicked under the bed. Why he did not tell Tessa before she went looking, I do not know. She saw his discovery when she got back with some more rope from the workbench.
“Ben, where did you find that?” Tessa said.
“It fell under Jean’s bed.”
“Thank you Ben.” Tessa put her new discovery down and took the nylon rope from Ben and proceeded to tie Jean and me back-to-back.
“Almost forgot something,” she said and gagged me with the black piece of fabric I had been gagged with before. Then she threw the blanket over us. Princess Jean turned out to be an escapologist. I imagined that she had been bound before and learn to escape. Or the other Sorceress was just plain bad. Jean was free of her bonds very quickly. I could feel her releasing herself and she threw off the blanket.
“How did you do that?” Tessa said incredulously. After Jean tore the tape off of her mouth she said, “I’m Houdini!” My turn came next. Once they untied me.

I had failed as a knight, so I decided to try my hand as a kidnapper. When I came back from a bathroom break, Tessa was sitting on the couch, perpendicular to the stairs. Perfect. I charged her and hand-gagged her with both hands. I imagined that I had kidnapped Tessa out of the palace garden and spirited her away to my hideout in the forest. Tessa sat on Jean’s bed on the other side of the basement. With a single long piece of pink rope I tied Tessa’s hands behind her back and to her torso. Another piece bound her ankles Indian-style.
“Are you going to gag me?” she asked.
“Yup,” I said. I held up the Scotch tape and started to tear off a piece.
“Uh, could you use something else?” asked Tessa.
“You used it on me!” said Jean.
“Oh, alright.” Tessa pursed her lips. I covered much of her lower face with scotch tape. She mumbled a little in her British accent.
“Is it my turn now?” Jean asked. I nodded. Jean got up and looked like she was about to make a break for it. Tessa mumbled angrily. Ben grabbed Jean’s leg. I took her hand and led her over to the bed. I tied her arms and body the same as Tessa, and had Jean sit against Tessa’s back. I bound her ankles Indian style. Now I took the cotton rope Tessa had found earlier and wrapped it around Jean and Tessa’s shoulders and chest. I stepped back and ‘wiped’ off my hands.
“Mmmm,” the au pairs mumbled. I untied them after a few minutes. They helped me untie them. I suspect they could have gotten loose anytime but choose to humor me.
