strokling....

About a month ago, Johari had some mosquito bites on her back. The bites even kept her up at night a bit. Anyway, she liked for me to scratch them or tickle them or pat them a bit. Then she started just liking me to scratch and tickle her all over her back. I was reminded of how whenever we were visiting with my paternal grandma, I would lay across her lap and she would strokle (tickle + stroke) behind my knees, all over my legs, on my back, on my tummy, in my elbow pits and all over my legs. I told Johari about this memory. After that she would ask me to tickle her... "like great grandma used to do."
