I was just out to dinner with my family celebrating my step-dad's b-day. I was sitting next to my grandfather, when I realized that I didn't know if either of my grandparents were ticklish. When I asked, my grandmother said no, but my grandfather confirmed he was ticklish. I then spent the rest of dinner trying to tickle him under his armpit. He was really laughing, trying to fight me off, and he was actually pretty strong. But I was able to get a few good tickles in, and we we're both laughing, like when I was a little kid and he would play with me.
So I want to encourage everyone out there to check if their elder family members are ticklish. It's important to respect your elders, but its also important to show them they are loved and help them laugh.
I'm just saying, the world would probably be a better place, if people tickled each other more often. No more wars, just tickle fights.
