*phew*
Thought I was the only one then!
I remembered why I made that theory now aswell! Last week I was talking to my cousin who I haven't seen since childhood because she's been doing a lot of work in far away places. We caught up and she brought up the times I used to always try and tickle her. She has never been the most ticklish person (and her feet were no exception, usually only got a giggle out of them) but I always attempted to tickle her feet anyway. Now there was this one time when we were in our mid-teens (I was 15 and she was 16). It was my b/day party (one of those family things) and it was about 12 o'clock. She was lying on my bed in my room because she'd been working all day at her part time job. I walked into my room to get my can of coke when I saw her laying there asleep. At first I thought how the hell can she sleep with this noise around her and then I looked at her feet. She still had her shoes and socks on but the oppertunity was too good to pass up. Now I realised that her feet were not the most ticklish I had ever seen but I was....stubburn shall we say, and I was also wiser seeing that I was older so I thought I'd obtain some instruments of demise. I wondered down stairs and got the following objects:
- A Fork
- A Cocktail Stick (fresh one, not one from the sausages)
- A Ball Point Pen
- Some String
- A Pair Of Fake Metal Handcuffs My 9 Year Old Cousin had Brought With Him.
I went back upstairs and looked around (at that age I was still cautious about other peoples feeling to tickling). I looked in my room and there she was sound asleep. I closed the door and slowly attached the handcuffs around her ankles and because my cousin is the petite one in our family the handcuffs would fit. I slowly clicked each bracelet around each ankle being extremely careful not to wake her up. After I managed to attach the handcuffs I thought to myself 'Man, she's one heavy sleepy' but I carried on. Now that her feet were handcuffed (I should really say FeetCuffed but bleh) I was going to attach the string from the hand cuffs to the bottom of the bed. This was easy, just had to loop the string thought the cuffs and attach it to the bottom of the bed. Done. Now this next part was the hardest part, removing the shoes and socks without her waking. My plan was to undo her laces, slip the shoes off and then remove her socks. This wasn't as easy as I thought because she had double tied the knots on her laces and she was wearing long, soccer like socks on. But I got this far, I couldn't give up now. Now luckily I was always handy at knots, I had never come across a knot I couldn't undo (except for the time I meet that sailor, but that story may come another time). I looked at her left shoe and it was a simple loose double knot and I undid with ease and she was still asleep. the next one was slightly harder because I had not nails and this knot was tighter but I still managed to do it. Now I gently slipped off each shoe revealing 2 bright blue soccer socks. Ths was the hardest part now, remove the socks without causing my cousin to wake up. I had to remove the whole sock at once so I rolled up her trouser very, very gently and grabbed the top of the sock. I pulled it down till it was to her heel when *shock* she stirred. She didn't roll over though, just shuffled about a bit. Whipping my forehead I carried on. I did the same to her other sock so that both socks were at her heel. Now I just slipped the socks of to reveal 2 of the cutest feet I can possibly ever encounter. Toes that weren't too long but not too short ever. A shiny pink sole and no sign of dead skin anywhere. And her feet were slighlty sweaty after being in those footballers socks all day. I was time. The tickling could start. Now I got my finger and gently dragged it up and down her sole and NO REACTION. So with all my finger I tickled her soles until I got a reaction. I did get a reaction too, no laughing just stirring about. THis is when she woke up. She asked what I was doing and I said I was trying to tickle you. Now, I thought at this point she was going to say 'You kinow I'm not ticklih, so realease me.' but instead she said 'Ha, this will be ammusing, go on, do your best'. I was shocked but I managed to get a quick reply saying 'Well, thi should be ammusing because I'm gonna make ya laugh'. So I picked up the fork, held her toes back and began to drag the fork up and down her sole and all I got was a few laughs. Not hysterical laughs either, just small 'he he he's'. So after 10 minutes with the fork I looked at her and just saw her there waching, like she was feeling nothing. SO I picked up the pen and she said 'No, no writing, I don't want ink on my feet' at that point I thought 'Hmmmmm....Is she saying that because she knows it will tickle?' but I then remembered that I had a cocktail stick which had always worked for me. So I replied 'Ok then, how about something like a pen but much worse'. I then picked the cocktail stick up, showed her and began to write invisible messages. She started to laugh louder now but not as loud as I wanted. So I carried on with the stick for about 20 minutes when a thought came to me. I told her to wait there and I ran to the bath room. I picked up my electric toothbrush BUT I knew that the brush wouldn't work with her, so I removed the head to remove the vibrating needle. I went back to see her looking at me and she said 'So what have ya got then, a feather!' but I just said 'You'll see'. I sat down at the foot of the bed with my back facing her, pulled the toothbursh from my pocket and switched it on. I began writing on her foot and she went into hysterics. IT WAS WORKING. I was making the person I found hardest to make laugh go into HYSTERICS! I caqrried on that for about 10 minutes before she broke free. My mission was complete.
So that is one of the main reasons why I like tickling non-ticklish people. I like the challenge.
