Simeon has learned to tickle. He will open and close his hand next to someone and go, “Guckle, guckle, guckle!” He meanwhile looks expectantly at his victim, who is expected to laugh heartily at the tickling. This amuses him no end. Which means that he’s guckling a lot these days. For some reason it’s not as amusing for the gucklee as it is for the guckler.
Sometimes, too, it takes me a while to realize what he’s doing. Guckle, after all, isn’t always a clear word to understand, especially when I’m doing a bunch of other things at the same time.
But it is darn cute, and his unaffected delight and laughter about it is enough to keep me laughing about the guckles for a good, long time.
