Josh's Mom: Doctor in Distress
Here I am again with another story involving my vivid imagination. When I was 7 one of my best friends was a fellow named Josh. We played games with our imaginations all the time and liked to play multiple characters each, but being young boys we hated playing the girl characters. We did not have many girls as friends at the time, being seven-year-old boys.
One of our favorite games was a fusion of G.I. Joe and Superfriends. I forget what we called it, but it involved a lot of gadgets made with tinker toys and K’nex. For now we’ll just call em Good Guys (note the capital letters) and Bad Guys (please excuse my lack of imagination here, my memory usually doesn’t fail).
We each played particular characters, usually two each and would take turns for bit players in the most natural way. My characters were Dr. Ivan, the Good Guys’ smart guy inventor (who also had super strength) and Rick, the pet dinosaur who could speak English (who Dr. Ivan would ride). Josh was Chameleon-man, who had super strength plus any powers the name suggests and Bang, the big stupid gunner (who he tended to forget about). We also had Bananas, a talking Gorilla who we hardly used. The Bad Guys were Mr. Big (me, basically Fat Tony) Dr. Evil Eye (a mad scientist, me again) and Evil Chameleon, Chameleon-man’s arch-enemy. These three had as many henchmen as the game called for.
The Bad Guys broke into a lab to steal something ( I forget what), which was Josh’s living room. His mom was sitting in a chair reading a magazine with her back to us.
“Okay, Mr. Big,†Evil Chameleon said in a fake whisper, “She’s the head scientist, we capture her and make her tell us where it is.â€
“Are you guys talking about me?†Carol, Josh’s mom said.
“Uh, yes,†Josh said in a weak voice.
“I guess this means you want me to play with you?†she asked.
“Please?†we both said.
“Of course,†she said and went back to reading. We looked at each other and grinned.
“On the count of three,†Josh whispered, “We take her prisoner.†I nodded and he held up three fingers. One went down, then the other. We jumped up and ran to his mom. He ran around the front of the chair and grabbed her arms. I threw my hands over her mouth. Even at the tender age of seven I liked putting my hand over a girl (or woman’s) mouth.
“Whagmmm!†Carol grunted and dropped the magazine.
“Okay Doctor, you better do as we say if you don’t want to get hurt!†said Josh.
“Umhm mrmm!†Carol grunted.
“Maybe you should take your hands off her mouth,†Josh said. I complied.
“Who are you guys?†she asked in a fake scared voice.
“I’m Mr. Big!†I said.
“And I’m Evil Chameleon!†said Josh.
“Oh no! Please don’t hurt me!†she said.
“We’d better tie her up before the Good Guys get here,†I said.
“Good idea, Mr. Big, I’ll hold her, you get the rope,†said Evil Chameleon. We both were wearing backpacks with our props in them. I quickly got out the rope while Carol struggled against her son’s hands. He brought them close together and I tied them together.
“Help!†screamed Carol. I hand gagged her again.
“Those goody two-shoes probably heard that!†I said.
“How could they hear it? We don’t know where they are!†said Evil Chameleon.
“Doc Ivan has a device that gives you super hearing!†I said.
“Hmmhmp!†Carol said under my hand.
“We need to gag her!†I said. Josh ran out of the room and came in from another door in a different character. While he was on his way I took out a bandana and tied it over Carol’s mouth detective-style.
“What kind of gag? Running gag? Sight gag?†said Chameleon-man.
“Curse you lizard-lips! You know what I’ll do if you get too close!†I said and held a toy gun up to Carol’s head.
“Hehmm!†Carol said again.
“You know we won’t let you two get away with this,†said Chameleon-man. Josh jumped back across the room and turned to face the spot where he had been standing.
“We’re already getting away with it. If you don’t want her to get hurt you better let us leave,†said Josh as Evil Chameleon. I stood Carol up and the three of us backed out of the room. We led her up to the hideout/base—Josh’s room. Josh had a big room that served as a playroom for us. He also had a big closet that was connected to his dad’s office for some reason. We loved that closet. Once in I started to portray Dr. Evil Eye, which I did by squinting my left eye and affecting a very bad German accent for about minute (I always forgot to keep it up).
“Did you guys get it?†I said as the mad scientist.
“No, you know who showed up,†said Evil Chameleon, “but we got the next best thing. Dr….Dr. Carol.â€
“So, we get her to build another one, for us?†I said this time as Mr. Big.
“If she talks,†said Evil Chameleon.
“What do you guys want me to say?†asked Carol. No, she hadn’t been ungagged. We all know by now that over-the-mouth gags don’t work right? At the time I had an idea that they wouldn’t work, but this game with Carol proved it to me.
“Don’t worry,†I said, then back in character “This is a perfect opportunity to test my new invention. It reads minds!†Josh’s face absolutely lit up. I picked up a Seussian object made of K’nex and pointed at Josh’s desk chair.
“Strap her in,†I ordered. We sat Carol in the chair and untied her hands. We tied her wrists to the arms and tied her upper body and waist to the chair. I removed Carol’s gag.
“I’ll never talk!†Carol said.
“I don’t want you to. I need to test my new machine,†I said. Among our props was a roll of thick medical tape. I now gagged Carol with this.
“Gmmm!†She did not need to pretend anymore. Josh tied his mother’s feet and we were ready to go. I put the ‘mind-reader’ on her head and fiddled with an imaginary console over Josh’s desk.
“Hmmm. This is working better than in the tests. I think the gag makes a difference,†I said.
“Who did you test it on?†asked Evil Chameleon.
“One of the henchmen.†Carol kept grunting as Josh laughed.
“Yeah, sometimes I think our henchmen are only good as guinea pigs,†he said.
“I dunno, sometimes they suck at that too,†I said.
“Grmmmrm!†Carol grunted. She didn’t like us using that word at the time. Nothing she could do about it.
“It’s working perfectly! I’ll be able to build one myself now!†I exclaimed.
“Perfect. When can you start?†asked Josh, as Evil Chameleon.
“Right now! First I need my…†Before I could finish the phone rang and Josh ran to pick it up. When he came back he told me his dad was on the phone and wanted to talk to Carol. I ungagged her and untied her arm and upper body so that she could use the cordless phone. Her husband must have asked what she was doing or what took so long.
“I’m playing with Josh and Al. They kidnapped me and tied me up, which is what took so long,†she said. Josh and I looked at each other nervously.
After she hung up, I asked, “Are we going to be in trouble?â€
“Oh of course not,†she said, half laughing and gestured light-heartedly with the arm that was still tied to the chair. “We can keep playing now.â€
“As I was saying, I need my chair back so that was okay. We need to move her,†I said as Dr. Evil Eye. We released Carol and each held onto a wrist, as she was now untied and could have escaped.
“Where should we put her?†I said.
“First let’s tie her back up,†said Josh as Evil Chameleon. We had her kneel and I tied her arms again, behind her back this time, when Josh knocked on something.
“I forgot, I’m expecting a package,†he said.
“We have a hostage you moron!†I said as Dr. Evil Eye.
“Take her in back and keep her quiet.†I took Carol into the walk-in closet and had her kneel, and then put my hand over her mouth. We listened to Josh talking to himself as Evil Chameleon and a delivery boy. We were like that for few minutes, because Josh decided that the delivery boy should be Chameleon-man in disguise and fought himself. Although I imagined his two characters—Evil Chameleon and Chameleon-man—were fighting each other. I’m not sure what Carol was thinking, but I have a feeling she could tell what was going on. Evil Chameleon won the fight and pretended to tie up the Good Guy. Then Josh came into the closet with more rope and the roll of tape.
“That was Chameleon-man. I’ve beaten him but his friends will be here any minute,†he said. He tied Carol’s ankles while I tied rope around her upper body. After that I gagged her with another strip of tape. She struggled a little and we left her in the closet. Josh closed the door behind us, prompting her to mmmph at us. I put some K’nex creations on my wrists, picked up a flashlight and a Dino-riders deinonnychus toy (anyone else remember that show?) and went to the office connected to the walk-in closet. This time I was Dr. Ivan and Rick, who had been shrunk down so that we could sneak in easily. I entered the closet from the other side. There were clothes between Carol and me but she probably heard me come in because she mmphed a little. The light was off in the closet.
“Rick, do you hear something?†I said.
“Yeah doc, I heard something. I think maybe you should increase my size,†I said as Rick. Dr. Ivan did not listen but put the flashlight on. I brushed away some hanging clothes like curtains and shined the light on Carol. She mmphed and squinted.
“Dr. Carol, are you okay?†I said as Dr. Ivan.
“Mmm.â€
“We’ll have you out in a nano-second,†I said. All of sudden the door opened and the light went on. Josh was standing there holding a gun at me.
“Evil Chameleon!†I said.
“Yes. I’ve captured your partner, and if you try anything funny Mr. Big will blow his brains out,†Josh said.
“You wouldn’t dare!†I said.
“I would.â€
“Oh yeah, do you know that he’s your brother?†I said.
“I’ve known longer than you.†I put my hands up and walked into the room. Once out of the closet I pretended to punch Josh and shot an imaginary Mr. Big with the stun ray on my wrist. I threw Rick and returned him to normal size. Then I ran back into the closet untied Carol’s legs, helped her up and told her we had to go. I led her out of the closet but without untying her. She mmphed and gestured with her bound wrists. Before I could untie her Josh appeared.
“Chameleon-man,†I said.
“Nope,†said Josh and I imagined my partner transform into Evil Chameleon. “I’ll trade you your partner and the dinosaur for her.†He pointed at his mother. He backed into the closet.
“Don’t worry professor Carol, I have a plan. Just hang in for a little while longer,†I said. I led her back into the closet for a prisoner exchange. Carol for Chameleon-man and Rick.
“Send her over and I’ll send these two over,†said Josh as Evil-Chameleon. I imagined Chameleon-man with his hands handcuffed, holding a shrunken Rick.
“Okaaaaaayno!†I said and shot a stun beam at Evil Chameleon and freed Chameleon-man with my lazer. Josh started playing Chameleon-man again and pretended to handcuff Evil Chameleon. We finally untied Carol.-
