Welcome to our giggle club. Today we meet Mia and Leo. They love playing together. Last Friday, Mia snuck behind Leo. She wiggled her fingers. She brushed them on his ribs. Leo burst into loud giggles. He shouted, "Stop being tickling to me!" Later, Leo saw Mia’s new haircut. He grinned and said, "Nice hair, grandma!" Mia frowned. She said, "Stop being teasing to me!"
