When Tomosan arrived for a visit this winter from Japan, she expected Kumikosan and I to meet her at the airport. Well. kumiko wanted to us hide and have Mariko, who Tomosan didn't expect, meet her instead. Well well. a bit later when Tomosan was awaiting her luggage at the carousel, we snuck up on her, I kicked her in the leg (gently) and this is her expression when she turned and saw us!
