We were playing “What can kill you?” – a game she learnt at child care, I think. When she names something that can kill, she gets a pretend star on her forehead. About every fifth item is “tickles”.
“Lillian, what can kill you?”
“Umm…. trucks!”
“Yes!” (pretend star)
“Umm…. spiders!”
“Yes! What else?”
“Dinosaurs!”
“Well, sort of.” (pretend star)
“Monsters!”
“OK…” (pretend star). “What else?”
“Ummm….. …. “
“TICKLES!!” 30 seconds of hilarity as Lillian gets the expected dose of tickling.
