[QUOTE="donna723, post: 523949, member: 1883"] I have an aunt, the sweetest lady on the face of the earth, who was the absolute master at this! She had six kids, four boys and two girls. The oldest three boys were very close in age and were holy terrors ... to put it nicely. Even as very small children they had a reputation for being rowdy and in to everything and it didn't help that the third to the oldest one was a dead ringer for Dennis the Menace. Looked just like him. Their dad was a big, tough talking no-nonsense Army Major with a bad temper but the one they were really scared of was their mom! She could stop them dead in their tracks just by giving them the "mom look"! She didn't have to say a word! And when they got [I]really[/I] out of line, she would give them the "mom look", raise one finger, and quietly say, "One!" And what ever they were doing would come to a screeching halt! I think I heard her get to "Two!" maybe one time, and I [U]never[/U] heard her have to get as far as "Three". Apparently what happened at "Three" was a fate worse than death! And the funniest part is that she can still do it! She's almost 90 now and her kids are in their early 60's and late 50's. And I have no doubt that she could still stop them dead in their tracks just by giving them that "mom look" or putting up that finger and saying, "One!" [/QUOTE]
