Almost all the times I've been tickled stick with me in my memory, I swear it's traumatic! ��
One in particular that stands out for me though is the time my sister felt the need to show one of my boyfriends. Of course it had to be show, not just tell. It's impossible for me to hide my ticklishness anyways, but it was a decently new relationship for me. For a lot of my late high school and early college years I loved having some kind of different color streak in my brown hair, I think I remember at the time it was red. My sister is much more naturally beautiful and loved to pick on my for using dye in my hair. I don't mean to paint a picture of her and I not getting along, we are extremely close and share everything with each other, not her real name but I'll call her Katie. But anyways! It was winter time and we had finished up having a family dinner, my parents were finishing with clean up so myself, my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend at the time were hanging out in the living room. When it's cold out I am almost never barefoot, I loved wearing my Uggs and absolutely love warm socks! So we were all just bullshitting, talking about whatever. I forget exactly what I was saying but I was teasing Katie about something or other. I remember very specifically what she said though. She asked my boyfriend, "Isn't she just such a little brat sometimes? She can be so annoying right?!" My boyfriend, of course being a newish fresh relationship said not ever! I was really hoping his answer would put an end to that because I knew exactly where Katie might be going. Sadly, for me, Katie replied laughing "Yeah, okay! You can be honest here! But just in case, you want to know how to get her to stop?!" Now I was positive what was about to happen, unfortunately what I've learned is that running does me no good at all so I just start pleading right away usually because on occasion she'd let me off the hook. I remember saying "Kate! Please no, he'll find out on his own anyways! Don't do it!" My boyfriend, obviously being a human being was very intrigued at this point and asked "Now I feel like I have to know, what is it?!" I knew I wasn't getting a lucky break this time now 🙁 So Katie, very excitedly hopped up and said "I could tell you, but it's more fun to show you!" I was holding my boyfriend's arm, sitting on our sectional couch and made one last attempt to get him to call her off but before I could barely get any words out Katie was pouncing saying "Watch this!" She pealed my off of my boyfriend, I flopped to the floor where she had me pinned down with me laying on my stomach. Still begging her not to, she wasted no time digging her fingers into my sides making me squeal immediately. I remember Katie saying "My baby sister just happens to be unbelievably ticklish!" I couldn't focus on what my boyfriend was doing or saying but Katie tickled my sides and ribs and under my arms for what was probably 20 seconds, felt like forever! But being the loving big sister she is, she stops and says "This is pretty bad but you haven't seen anything yet! While I have her here you should see what happens when you tickle her on her feet!" I don't know if she just loved tormenting me or actually just likes tickling, maybe a little of both! But Katie always has this excited tone whenever she can show someone how ticklish I am. My boyfriends next move both impressed me with his boldness and horrified me because I had no idea how long they might keep going but he gladly obliged with what Katie said and grabbed my foot. I had my decently thick winter sock on but my feet are just way too ticklish and even this thickest socks don't really help. He started ticking my foot and I started ugly cry laughing. Katie thought it was hilarious and kept poking my sides making me squirm even worse. Honestly it was all over in maybe one minute, didn't last nearly as long as Katie would sometimes mess with me for. He didn't take my sock off, thank goodness! But before Katie let me up she said "Now you know exactly how do get my sweet little sister to stop being a little pest! It's cute right?!" As she squeezed my sides one last time. She's evil! But I love her still 🙂
