My GF calls it THE LOOK. The first time I got it, it was SCARY!! I’m sure it served he well when she was a school teacher.

Did you ever get the feeling… you were being… watched…?

Why is there a jar of cookies sitting out in a prominent and reachable place if they’re not to be eaten? Put them away in a pantry on the top shelf and never mention them.

Carefully honed over years in the classroom.

When I was in grade school, there was one nun who had the stare to scare!

My Mom had the stare. It could freeze water into solid ice in no time.

That’ll happen when you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

I think that’s one of the “secrets” women teach their daughters…

My mom was very good at the stare of death…my grandma was the one who taught it her.

It occurs to me that the one teacher I had that most excelled at the stare was my HS English teacher — a man!
