The Wisdom of Mother Goose

I found a nursery rhyme that has a foolproof test to see if you should be a man or a woman! Here it is!

A SURE TEST

If you are to be a gentleman,
As I suppose you'll be,
You'll neither laugh nor smile,
For a tickling of the knee.

So all you have to do is try to tickle your knee and see if you laugh or smile. Wow! Why do we even need therapists? *giggle*

Okay?

The knee is a ticklish spot? Learn something new every day!

Here I always thought the wisdom of Mother Goose was: Don't Bend Over In The Shower Room.

How?

How do you tickle your knee first off mew, my nails are so long, it just scratches it instead xD ((only good at tickling others)) but still, I dont' believe something so ridiculous automatically determines your gender mew xD Though that was your point mew xD Sorry ^^"

Hey! You must not have noticed the "Silly" tag on my blog. It was all tongue in cheek. :p

But just in case you still want to try it, according to the illustration in the Mother Goose book, you're supposed to use a feather to attempt the tickling. :)

it can be done

but not that way. :-)

You can't tickle yourself, but you can tickle most people. You don't twiddle your fingers, or use a feather or anything. Put your thumb on one side, and a middle finger on the other side, and squeeze gently. Most people have a tickle reaction (note: 's not gender-related, so far as I know, though I used it as a seduction technique (without particular success) back when I was young and ... well, when I was young).

Seriously, it works, and it often works on people who can suppress the tickle reflex, 'cause they don't think of that as a ticklish spot and aren't ready for it. It can be suppressed, though, just like any other tickle-spots.

Amy!

I beg to differ...

it IS possible for some folks - to tickle themselves... Just like it's possible for some folks to tickle some others (or at least get the raction a tickle would generate) without actually touching them. It's also possible for a person's ability to be tickled to CHANGE over time... I know - I found out the hard way - that I'm actually ticklish and have been for about 6 months... Dunno when the "change" actually happened, but the previous attempts by others (going back over 30 years) were unsuccessful.
