  1. Anticipating being tickled.

    It’s like you’re a little kid again, maybe someone is coming at you with ‘The Claw’ or they have that ‘I’m-going-to-get-you’ grin, but you know they are about to tickle you and so you start to squirm a little, tensing in anticipation, feeling the laugh building before you are even being touched. And then when you are finally, actually tickled, it’s like the anticipation made it all that much better.

    Totally awesome.
