Tickling is fun, and we do it to ourselves because our brain loves surprises. When you tickle yourself, your brain thinks someone else is doing it, so you laugh even more! It's like playing a trick on your own brain.
Examples
- A kid scratches their own belly while playing hide-and-seek.
- A person laughs at themselves when they try to tickle someone else.
- You giggle as you try to tickle your little brother, even though it's your hand doing the work.
