Laughter and giggling are the normal responses when the sensitive nerve endings in the most tender areas of your body are stimulated. For example, you might become prone to helpless fits of laughter if I were to softly caress your armpits with this fluffy feather I have here.

I think its a reaction used by the nervous system. as we grow we learn to tell what hurts and what is tickling, as children we automatically adopt the sense to laugh and cry as these are common reactions caused by the sensation we get from the stimulus of another on our body.
in short we already know to cry when hurt and laugh when tickled so we do just that, its a normal reaction.

You laugh when you are tickled by someone else because the stimulus is external to your own body, i.e. you are not expecting it. That's why you can't tickle yourself.

Oh Dear, Feathery! You make me giggle with anticipation! What baffles me is some people are ticklish and others are not. must be as others have said--touching a sensitive spot combined with the way the brain is wired in some individuals, combined with how we are trained to respond. --CJ
