"THE LOOK"

This is the look you get from your Wife/Husband/Mother/Father.

Everyone knows "THE LOOK".

The Look is usualy dispensed when there is a crowd of people and the dispenser does not want to make a scene but wants to make it clear to you through the look that it is game over for you. The usual reaction from The Look by the person the it is given to is silence followed by a fear not to go home!

Personally speaking I would rather get slapped than get "THE LOOK" because with a slap I usually get some sympathy after, but the Look can result in your parents not talking to you for weeks which makes you feel like doo-doo, especially when they go to a function and leave yo' behind at home!

Unfortuantly, once i became an adolecent The Look became more frequent as my parents realised that getting a slap doesn't accomplish anything!!! Nuts!

Circusmtance when I have been given the look (when I was a kid):

Going to a family function and spending the whole time outside in the freezing cold playing without a jacket on!

Sliding down the staircase on my bum at a family friends house only to get my leg caught in a step to then go flying forward and hit my forhead on a fireplace poker set at the bottom of the banister.....clever place to put the poker set.........and then have to cut short the visit only to go to Hospital to get the wound stiched up!!

I can't rember exactly the individual circumstances, but acting a fool in front of your parents in general, making, what you think, everyone laugh, but in fact are embarrassing your parents!

Getting a bad report from school. Problem with this one is I would get the look at school in front of the teachers and then get a beating when I got home! It was then followed by me having to write Lines, and then having to "catch my ears" before bed......every dugu family knows this!! When you catch your ears from between your legs!! KILLLAAAA!!!

Getting hit as a kid has'nt effected me. Oh, I just found a photo of my teddy bear from when I was a kid, I used to love dressing him up!!! See i'm perfectly normal!
