THESE STORIES ARE TRUE. THEY DON'T ALWAYS INVOLVE A BONAFIDE "BITCH" (WHATEVER THAT IS) THOUGH THEY MAY INVOLVE SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN BITCHY AT TIMES, SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE TICKLING.

My first year of college turned out to be fun for many reasons, not the least of which was having discovered my mom's ticklish spots, and creating scenarios where my friends would exploit them (The Ticklish Bitch #1,#3,#6). There really aren't too many more of these moments left for me to recall, but each has it's own special memory. Subtle though they are, they are worth telling and re-telling.

The funny thing is, though Mom was quite bitchy at times, in most of these situations, she was in a pretty relaxed mood. Probably because it was her quiet time, after work, but before dinner, and she was catnapping on the couch with the TV on in the background. I still lived at home at the time, and my friends would come over quite often.

The last time my friend Tom was involved in one of these "capers," he had "carried" my mom away from the tickling hands of another of my friends, Mark (The Ticklish Bitch #6). This time, the daring Tom would finally get his own chance.

Mom was sleeping lightly, on her tummy, wearing her after-work shorts and a t-shirt. Earlier that day, our friend Elaine was hanging out with us, and our other friend Johnny was playfully tickling her. She mentioned that the backs of her knees were sooooooo ticklish and that gave me and Tom the idea. We wondered aloud if the backs of my mom's knees were ticklish, and how much fun it would be to find out.

So, as Mom lay sleeping on the couch, Tom sat beside her bare calves, patted them, and said, "Hi, are you awake?" She didn't respond. He clowned. "If you are, how about fixing us dinner?" Mom then clowned back, pretending to snore. "You're not really asleep, are you?" Tom asked. Mom couldn't possibly have known what was in store, or she surely wouldn't have continued with her own little gag acting as if she was asleep.

Tom reached down and began to dig his fingers into the backs of her bare knees, alternating between light feathery touches and deep kneads. After a few seconds, Mom's body started to quiver and shake, her shoulders moving rapidly up and down. Tom continued tickling, his huge hands massaging her little bare calves. She finally lifted her head from the pillow, on which she had drooled as her mouth had been open the whole time, and she said, "AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA, STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

Tom stopped and said, "Ooooooh, then I guess you ARE awake!" That was the end of it. It probably didn't last more than 30 seconds, if that. But, mission accomplished. Another ticklish body part discovered on Mom, the backs of her bare knees.
