New Handcuffs

New Handcuffs We had taken our boys out to a theme park one day They could run around wild and burn some energy away On the return trip from the gift shop they did ask to buy A plastic sword, a shied and a pair of toy handcuffs, I didn’t ask why. Two days later they asked if their friend could come to play “Of course not a problem” is what I did tell them that day. Within few minute they came to find me, they were crying Their friend was in the handcuffs, they can’t release him although trying. Each turn of the key to unlock the offending restraints Instead of unlocking them it tightened them, to his little complaints I put all three boys in the car and drove to the local fire station To find it was a part -time one, it was a deserted location. A cleaner I spied working hard, so I did ask help from him "Go to the police station" he said, giving me a wink and a grin. A bit strange I thought but only for a little while I had to free this child, so I said “goodbye” with a smile. This young boy now with tears in his eyes Looking so lost and afraid, which is no surprise Into the Police station I walked feeling really bold "Can you please free this child? You have cutters I am told." A big burly officer looked, and then he walked up to me Took one look at the child and said sarcastically “We will fetch a female officer to sit with the boys “While you come with me, and explain a child, in sex toys…” “What on earth are you babbling about my good man? Just unlock and free that child as fast as you can” “I’m sorry madam” said he “but there’s questions to ask” “Why did you lock a child in handcuffs? What was to be your task?” “My good man what are you suggesting, that I locked him in?” “Don’t be absurd are you stupid?” He just gave me a grin Another officer entered with three pairs of bolt cutters so big The poor child nearly fainted, he had little arms like a twig. I asked them not to scare him, he was only a boy They told me they still needed to know about the sex toy On freeing the child they took the three boys away They asked them who had locked him up, and was it in play. My then ten year old son admitted he had done the deed He didn’t think it was wrong, he thought he could be freed. Finally satisfied enough, they let me leave with the boys With a tap on the shoulder the policeman urged me to buy ‘padded sex toys.’ © ~GG~ 5/12/2012 An oh so true story lol
