Tickling is further proof that God has a sense of humor.
Think about it.
If you take a ticklish person and stick your finger in his armpit he is helpless against you. He will wiggle and thrash and laugh without control.
If we could find a way for World Leaders to bottle the power of The Tickle it could be a Weapon of Mass Destruction! Wars would be won by simply by strapping down one's enemy and assaulting them with a wiggly Tickle Hand.
The underdog would see the Tickle coming and shout,
"NO! Anything but that! Anything! UNCLE! UNCLE! UNCLE SAM!"
Please tell me God did not have a ball inventing The Tickle concept!
I am VERY ticklish. I hate it. I am completely powerless in the face of a Tickle Monster. POWERLESS, I TELL YOU!
My dad used to tickle me until I feared I might DIE of laughter. He tickled me until I laughed so hard I could not get enough oxygen into my lungs for a full breath.
"I. CAN'T. BREATHE!" I would choke. "DADDY! I REALLY CAN'T BREATHE!"
Last night I played Tickle Monster with Maya.
She is a much smarter 5 year old than I was. She tickles back.
I never in my wildest dreams thought to give my dad a taste of his own Tickling medicine when I was 5.
"Hey!" I said to Maya. "You can't tickle ME. I'm the MOM!"
No respect. That's what I say.... Children just don't respect their elders like they used to.
