Disclaimer for those of you who find a glimmer of hope in the novel idea of a Tickle-Free Safe-Zone sign hung on your home's front door (aka, wives of chronic ticklers): It doesn't work.
In fact, when your husband walks in the door after work, he will tickle you BECAUSE of the sign. Cuz he thinks you're cute.
Boohoo.
llllllllllllll. Your mom used to always cite that tickling was akin to torture. And I think she really meant it. Which is worse, to be scared by jumping out at you, or tickling?
ReplyDeleteIn answer to Missy, I checked with the staff in the office of Nancy Pelosi and they told me tickling and jumping out are equally scored on the list of forms of torture the Obama administration hopes to forever forbid for use by our US intelligence agencies.
ReplyDeleteAlso in answer to Aunt Missy, tickling. Totally tickling. Being scared by having someone jump out at me is traumatizing, but it only lasts a few seconds and in the end feels like the adrenaline from a roller coaster. The torture of tickling lasts as long as the tickler wants it to, and it is the worst kind of torture because it forces you to laugh and smile when you are, in fact, suffering horribly.
ReplyDeletei like to tickle...and jump out unexpectedly! Improves the circulation!
