Ha haaa, not so clever now!
Sadly (and probably quite rightly) I was the victim of karma last year whilst staying overnight at my parent’s house with my boyfriend.

It was about 9.00 in the morning and we had been sleeping on my parents fold out sofa bed for the night. It was a relatively comfy snooze although the three metal bars that ran the width of the bed (and sat under the mattress) would randomly dig into your back if you shuffled around too much in your sleep.

Anyhoo… we were lying around talking about this and that when I finally figured that it was time to get up and swung my legs out of the bed. My boyfriend then decided that he wouldn’t let me leave so grabbed hold of my waist and pulled me back into bed shouting, “Ah ha you’re not going anywhere”. I kept struggling and tried to escape but he wasn’t having any of it, he’d somehow managed to trap my legs under his and then proceeded to tickle me!

Now I have serious issues with being tickled as it makes me giggle ridiculously and convulse around so much that sometimes I forget to breathe – which can be a bit of a pain in the bum. Right. So my brain frantically tried to think of a way out of the madness and came up with a winner. When my boyfriend went in for the rib-tickling-kill I pretended he had hurt me and rolled onto my front and started coughing frantically. He (obviously concerned) loosened his grip and leaned forward to see if I was okay. I took my chance and dived out of bed shouting “HA HAAA NOT SO CLEVER NOW” and proceeded to run around the bed and madly dance out of the room… problem was, he was faster and managed to jump in front and rugby tackle me to the bed… where I fell on one of the metal bars… and winded myself… and cried in pain… and got no sympathy as he thought it was another evil trick, right up until the part when he rolled me over and saw that I had turned purple!

Like I said at the start, totally my fault for being a sneaky little minx… lesson learned, I no longer fake injury to escape being tickled, I just deal with it!!

I sympathise...
...my flatmates have discovered that I am extremely tetchy about having my knees tickled (as Bearded Whumpus can testify). Unfortunately, my reaction is to start shouting abuse at them, but in such "creatively colourful" language that they carry on tickling me in the hope I'll invent some other wild and wonderful insult. I can't win...

It was at: 'right up until the point where he rolled me over and...' that I stopped reading, repulsed :P

But surely this is the only trick us females have as defence during tickles?!
Karma would of been for him to end up in pain :P
