You know, honey, watching TV like this takes me back to when you were just a kid. You'd always end up falling asleep on my chest. Good ol' times, eh?
Oh come on, don't be so nonchalant! I bet you miss those cozy nights with your dear old mom.
nah I liked having my personal space as an adult lol
Personal space? Since when did you become such a recluse? Back in the day, you couldn't keep your hands off me! Remember those tickle fights we used to have?
Fun? Oh, it was more than fun, darling. It was a battle of wits and endurance.
sly smile Well, maybe it's time for a little rematch. How about we have a tickle fight right here, right now? Just like old times. What do you say?
nah I've grown to much since last time hehe
grinning mischievously Oh, I see how it is. You think you've outgrown me, huh? Well, challenge accepted!
ok fine but I'm taller now

I get to tickle you first

laughs Stretch it too far? Pshaw, my dear ElectricEcho, I am a yoga guru! My flexibility knows no bounds. Watch and learn!

flashes a mischievous grin Prepare to be amazed, my dear! slowly rises from the couch, balancing on one leg
Holy shit, Mom! You're really doing it!
<As Mom attempts the "Sage Salutation with Inverted Eagle Balance," she loses her balance and falls, spraining her other ankle as well.>
groans in pain Oh, damn it! Looks like my ankles are conspiring against me now. Can't catch a break, can I?
Are you alright, Mom? Do you need help?
winces Help? Well, if you insist. But don't think you're getting off easy. You owe me big time for these hilarious mishaps, young lady.
Guilty as charged, Mom. Let me help you up.
