First, hope everyone had a joyous holiday season. That time of year always seems to fly by. This year, I happened to witness a couple of quick tickle scenes, and I would be remiss if I did not share them with the forum.
They both involve significant others of my brothers-in-law, and they both also involve my in-laws’ dogs. They have 3 dogs, all shih tzus. One is an older shih tzu who keeps to himself, but the other two are both still puppies, two balls of a fur that run around and get into all sorts of mischief.
The first incident took place on Christmas Day. One brother-in-law was bringing his new girlfriend over to meet the family. Both she and he are in their late 30s, early 40s. She was average. Seemingly nice (it’s the only time I’ve met her and I didn’t really talk to her all that much). On this day, she was wearing dress slacks, boots, and an open-neck red top. The open-neck part comes in later. She had blonde-ish hair that was shaved at the bottom but regular length at the top. I don’t know what you’d call that, but the hair style also comes into play.
At one point, he and she are sitting next to each other on the couch and are making small talk with other members of the family, when one of the dogs jumps on the couch (it’s a short-back couch) behind them and begins nuzzling into the girlfriend’s neck. She immediately starts laughing, though at the time, I wasn’t paying too much attention, as a) a lot of people were laughing and b) I wasn’t sure if perhaps that was just her laugh. After a short time, it happens again, and this time, she confirms: “Your dogs keep tickling me.”
Short, but cute. Can’t imagine announcing her ticklishness was something she imaged doing when sifting through the butterflies of meeting a significant other’s family for the first time…
Quick note about that particular brother-in-law, as well… A few years back, he was seeing another woman, and during one family event, he was sitting in the family room with me and some others wile his girlfriend at the time was outside on the patio. There was a sliding glass door that was closed separating us. Anyways, at one point, the brother-in-law and his girlfriend begin mock-threatening each other with hand gestures through the glass. Just silly nonsensical stuff, but they went back and forth with it for a little bit, each one “upping the ante” a bit from the last. At one point, the brother-in-law lifts up his leg, points to his foot, then points to himself, then does the air-tickle motion with his fingers, then points to his girlfriend, then points to his foot. She laughed and their “threats” ended at that. Though I have no other confirmation of her ticklishness – and they’re long no longer a couple – it was interesting to know that that particular threat could have her waving the white flag.
The other incident occurred on New Year’s Day and involved the fiancé of another brother-in-law (it’s a large family). She seems like a genuinely nice person. She is also in her 30s. Nice sense of humor. On this day, she had worn a pair of jeans and a pair of slip-on shoes. At one point, she slipped out of her shoes and was walking around the house barefoot. Eventually, we were sitting at the table – sort of crammed in given how many were there – and she starts laughing uncontrollably out of the blue. And others are “making fun of her” – joking like “Pull yourself together” and “OK, it wasn’t THAT funny” – but then she finally says “Stop! The dogs are licking my feet!” But she’s having trouble pulling herself away from it because of how crammed in everyone was. So that goes on for maybe 10-15 seconds, and finally someone shooes the dogs away and the girl is left sitting there, wiping the tears away from her cheek.
No one ever mentions the "t" word, but it's clear to all in the room. There wasn't anything else said of the incident, other than the girl's fiance joking "Sheesh - who brought HER?" as she caught her breath.
Hope you enjoyed these quick tales. It's not often I have anything to share in the true forum!
