The :sternlook: works better on my students than on my own kids-- kids develop an immunity to this sort of thing from their parents. Here are directions: Tilt head down slightly, so you are looking at recipient through upper part of glasses (whether or not you have bifocals, or even normally wear glasses). Compress lips slightly. Furrowed brow optional. This is the important part: Think loudly --but do not say out loud-- "I know you know better than that." |
My mom could always stop me cold with a look. See, when she was a teenager in the '50s, she was in a motorcycle accident. Went off a bridge and hit the rocks below. So her left eyebrow had a scar that made is sort of jaggedy. She could chill my blood when she lifted that eyebrow at me! Of course, as a teen, I mocked and teased her about her scary hairy eyebrow. BTW, despite the brow, she was a tall, slender, regal beauty. I take after my dad's side of the family.
