Sally went downstairs, and began watching TV. She was a little disappointed. She thought she was going to be able to tie her Mother up, but all she was being allowed to do, was release a padlock in the morning. "Anyone can do that," thought Sally to herself. "I could have done that when I was only 5 years old!"

She KNEW that she could do better...and make her Mommy happy by being even more helpless that she was now. Sally thought about what she had seen. "Why were Mommy's ankles chained so far apart?" she wondered. "Why use the 4th hole on the gag strap, when there were at least 3 tighter holes?" "Did the chain from her wrists to her ankles need to be so long?"

Sally was a big girl of eight years old, and knew that she could do a better job of making her Mommy helpless. Quickly the little girl ran upstairs, and opened the door to her Mother' room.

It was dark, but Jan had not yet fallen asleep. She was startled when the door opened, and light streamed into the room.

"Mmmmphhh?"

"It's OK, Mommy," said the excited girl. "I just want to show you that I can make you MUCH more helpless than you are now."

Sally looked in the drawer next to the bed, and saw that there were several more of the little padlocks. "Good!" she thought to herself. She took one of them, and easily passed it through the first link in the shackle chain above her Mommy's cuffed left ankle. She drew the two ankles together, captured the first link on that side, and snapped the lock shut. The 12 inches of slack between the woman's ankles had disappeared.

"Nnnnrnnnrrrrrhhhhfffff!" said her Mother.

Sally took the little key off the table, and unlocked the chain connecting the captive woman's cuffed wrists to her feet. Jan used the momentary freedom to straighten her legs.

"No you don't" she giggled. She climbed up on the bed, and pushed her Mom's feet up until they almost touched her behind. Jan tried to pull her cuffed wrists away, but her daughter grabbed the chain joining the cuffs, and with surprising strength pulled the cuffed toward the shackled ankles. Using a much shortened loop of the same chain, she linked the hands and feet together. When Sally let go of her Mother's wrists and climbed off of her bound legs, Jan was surprised to find her wrists and ankles separated by only 3 inches of chain. Any attempt to pull at her bonds only caused the steel cuffs to dig into the flesh, and press painfully on her wrist bones.

In the drawer with the padlocks was another pair of handcuffs. Sally looked at her Mom, wondering how to put them to good used.

Suddenly her face brightened. "I know!" she thought to herself happily.

She took the cuffs, and climbed back onto the bed beside her captive Mother. Tightening the link between her Mom's hands and feet caused the bound woman's elbows to come closer together, giving Sally an idea. "Were they big enough?" she wondered. She placed one half of an open cuff around her Mom's arm just above the elbow. It fit! Carefully she closed the cuff, and tighten it several clicks until it was just snug. The chain linking the cuffs was a little too short to allow the other elbow to be easily cuffed. Sally frowned, and reached one hand under her Mom's arms. Holding one arm in the crook of her elbow, she was able to pull the other arm a couple of inches closer. There! The cuff circled her Mother's other arm, and was quickly clicked shut.

"MMMMMMHHHHHHPPPP!!!!" Jan exclaimed at the sudden stress in her shoulders. She shook her head at her daughter. "Peeeeeessshhh.....OOOOOOOO!"

Sally giggled. "Now you really are helpless, Mommy!" she said happily, "but I am not done yet!"

Jan's eyes grew wide with alarm as she saw her little girl reaching for the strap to the ballgag. "This can be a lot tighter, Mommy" opined the little girl, opening the buckle, and dragging the strap 2 notches tighter. Jan groaned as the ball was pulled more deeply inside her mouth, and the straps dug tightly into the flesh of her cheeks.

"Maybe one more hole?" wondered Sally.

"EEEERRRRRRRFFFFPPPP!!" Jan retched slightly as the ball touched the soft tissue at the back of her throat.

"There!" the little girl gushed happily. "That looks nice."

Sally looked down at her Mother, wondering what else she might do to make the captive woman more helpless. Suddenly the image of a child's game flashed through her mind, and she went over to the dresser, and began going through the drawers until she found what she was looking for.

"Mommy, when we play Blind Man's Buff, it is really scary when I am blindfolded, and can't see," said the girl while brandishing a large, colorful silk scarf. "You will feel a lot more helpless if you are blindfolded."

Jan was powerless to resist as her daughter carefully folded the scarf into a triangle, then doubled it over into a 4 inch wide band. She carefully placed the scarf over her mother's eyes, being careful not to cover her nose. She tied it behind her Mother's head, and pulled the two ends tight.

Sally tugged at her Mother's inert form until the woman was centered in the large bed, and then pulled the sheet and blanket up to her neck. As a final thought, she took the large, heavy bedspread, and pulled it up to Jan's neck, then tucked the sides tightly underneath the mattress. In addition to her tight bonds, Jan was hot and totally unable to move underneath the weight of the bed covers.

"Well, Goodnight Mommy," said Sally. "Have fun, and I'll see you in the morning." Jan moaned softly around the tight gag as Sally turned out the light and closed the door.
