A Bit More Than He Bargained For

One night last week when ~J~ got home from work he joked that we did not give him a suitable greeting and that ~T~ and I were to always come running and greet him enthusiastically at the door. So last night when he arrived home we ran to the door, arms flailing and yelling gleefully, "~J~'s HOME!!!", and threw ourselves on him. Even the dog was jumping around and barking happily. So he was laughing at us and saying, "That's BETTER!" and then my DAD, who had just dropped in a few minutes earlier, came running in screaming from the living room and grabbed ~J~ in a big bear hug, too! That was certainly unexpected, and the "wha-HUH??" look on ~J~'s face was hilarious!
