The Tickle Monster Reincarnated 11/17

This vignette will be most truly appreciated by the very people I usually take on this role with…my little sisters Kristi, Sarah, and Molly, alternately known as my favorite victims. I really enjoy the company of my host sisters and am comfortable enough now with Farida (13) and Maria (11) to mess with them and play annoy them in that way only your siblings can. Last night I had loads of energy stored up after weeks of not running, so I playfully poked my sisters in the ribs a few times. BAD IDEA because after that it didn’t take them long to discover my greatest secret…how ticklish I am. As rain pounded on our tin roof, they chased me around our small house tickling me as I scrambled to take refuge anywhere and everywhere. All 3 of us laughed until we had tears in our eyes. The tag team of Farida and Maria have become my latest tickle monster, a rival to my childhood tickle monster (that terror I will call Keith). I guess that’s what I get for starting “trouble” with my sisters, but on any given day I am happy to be tickled by them because laughter really is the best remedy for any wave of homesickness I feel.
