Smile tummy-ticklikng and kitten-juggling

Is Origami...

a) the Japanese art of paper-folding?
b) the Thai art of tummy-tickling?
c) the Chinese art of kitten-juggling?

I didn't know that the answer was a) till Mum explianed on the way home.



What does b) indicate? Is there a unique type of Thai tummy-tickling?

Second, does kitten-juggling mean litterally? If yes, how come I never saw the Chinsese art of Kitten-juggling before as a Chinese for many decades?Thanks.

The B and C choices are meant to be jokes. There is no special way of tickling (that I know of, anyway), and cat juggling was something made up for the Steve Martin movie The Jerk.


Cat Juggling - can there be a God that would allow this?
