Catbird, that's the sweetest thing in the world!
Camper, the game sounds fun. My childhood story is not unlike yours. When I was in kindergarten, I used to go to day care after school. There was a boy there my age, and I remember on one occasion playing "kidnapper" with him. We would take turns. One of us would pretend to be going about our business, while the other would sneak up, clap their hand over the kidnappee's mouth, and drag them off to a secret lair. There the lucky victim would be tied up (just pretend--we didn't have rope) and....
Well, that was when we ran out of ideas, I suppose. After that we'd switch and do the whole thing over.
While some girls dreamt of being rescued by the cute prince, I spent a lot of my young days dreaming of being kidnapped by the cute pirate! I wasn't much older than kindergarten when I learned how to tie my wrists together with an elastic headband, but I never had a playmate. Well, until I met my current playmate.![]()
