When I was just a yougun;, about four years old, as I recollect, is when I first realized that I felt something when being tickled, tickling someone else (True, I didn't do much of that at four), or saw or heard about tickling. Then, just by chance, I heard a story related by a classmate of mine in fifth grade, telling how her older sister, and her sister's friend had tied her arms to one branch of a tree, and her legs to another. She added, under her breath "and then {my sister} started tickling me." and it hit me like lightning! I suddenly knew what all those feelings had been for so long! It is somewhat unfortunate that, feeling as though I was the only one who felt the way I did, I did my best to conceal it. I would feel uncomfortable if someone was talking about tickling, or if it was depicted in movies or on T.V., because I was afraid that someone would be able to tell, just by looking at me, what was going on inside. Finally, I discovered publications that catered to my special tastes, and one of them led me here. Thank goodness! Hmmm? Ol' Double T seems to be a lil' long winded tonight! So, I'll sign off.....for now! 😀
