Teenagers Everywhere Fear The Look!

My husband, two sons aged thirteen and sixteen, and I are at a convenience store for treats and drinks. We’ve opened the single door and are all entering — me first, as the lady in the group — when a teenage male attempts to push his way out.

I stop and look at him, and he freezes and steps back to let us enter. I notice my sixteen-year-old slowly shaking his head side to side.

Me: *To my son* “What?”

Son: “That look — it even works on strangers!”

I guess you could say I’ve perfected the “Mom Look”!
