What next?!

My children both know I abhor tattling. It drives me nuts.

Mommy she did this or she did that.

GRRRRR!

In the car today Wee One was in rare form chatting up a storm about anything and everything. Ratchet jaw was hyped up and non-stop.

On the other hand, Sweet One was in a quiet and somber mood. She and I had gotten cross-ways early in the day and she sought to punish us with her brooding silence.

In my list of "do nots" for Wee One, over time I have specifically iterated: "Do not tell me if sister touches you, says something to you or does not do what you want her to do, okay?"

Well, the imp came up with a new one this morning: "Momma, Sissy is giving me the evil eye!"

I ask you, how does one not laugh at something like that?

i've been accused of inheriting a look from my mother -- a look that strikes terror in the hearts of high school aged kids everywhere... ; ) mine's called "the stare"

My kids call my stare "the pile of ashes look". The eldest is starting to try and do it, but he can't do it was well as I can, apparently - he's 13. Sad :)

Heh...oh yes, the look. I remember it well and have inherited it from my mother. Though she is MUCH better at it than I am.

Imagine I'm giving you The Look right now for making me spray coffee on my screen!

I didn't have the look....and neither did my folks....HOWEVER, we knew we had reached the end of the line when our WHOLE name was used....."Guy, go get on that yardwork." Was a friendly reminder..."Guy Stephen Sochor, get your butt in here NOW!!" was a warrent for your arrest! I did the same with my kids...it worked *grin*.
