The Skill. For some the skill is a slight eye roll, others a full head roll. For all children it is the doe eyes, but for all mothers it is the look.
The Look. The face a mother projects onto one's children when their behavior is so profane that words cannot be spoken.
The Skill in this household in particular:
It is not:
Brenna putting one hand on her hip as she yells, "It's my turn, Mommy!" Completing the move with a duck faced head roll.
It is:
My response of the mimic, followed by the head rolling duck face, completed with the mother stare of death, and the question, "Is this how you want to play? Cause I can play this game, and girl I will win." As Brenna storms up stairs arms folded across her chest in defeat. The look was so powerful, that even though it was not aimed at the boys, they promptly went upstairs and brushed their teeth before coming back down to conclude their Wii Games.
That is The Skill.
