Oh, what’s that? You can’t see her?
She’s there. Shoveling off the car because she’s at my beck and call. Why? Because I said, that’s why. Lord, if I had a penny for every time I’ve said that to her lately …
That’s her fake smile, by the way. The one that really says: mom, you’re ruining my life!
It’s my duty as her mother …

Gaahhh! The snow! Gees, I’m in southern Ontario and we just had our first wet flurries today–nothing in November at all. It melted on contact with the ground, mercifully.
As for the “the look,” I don’t have kids (also a mercy–lol), but I do remember giving Mom that look time and time again. Poor Mom!

Oh poor you! I remember being like that to my mom and I know in too few years I will have that done to me. Good luck!

My middle niece could give her pointers on “the look”. I’m going to stay with my nieces next weekend and I know “the look” is going to push me over the edge.
They are calling for sleet and snow here tomorrow. Nothing should stick, but still, we don’t get that weather this early. Doesn’t look good for an easy winter in TN.

Lol. 11 years after moving out and I still give my mom that look! But seriously Jill, it looks like it’s freezing. You didn’t really expect a geniune smile, did you?

lol – newsflash – this just in – irritated teen found in the wild…

LOL!!! That’s really not that bad of “the look”.
Posted on December 1st, 2009 at 9:10 amMy teen’s give me that evil, if looks could kill look. Especially my 16 year old son.(he towers over me at 6″1″.) When I get the look, I smile sweetly and loudly say “I Love you!!!!”. Love the pics.
Donna M says:
All the snow is so pretty.
I see lots of pretty blue sky in the background which means she won’t have to clean off the car again for awhile!! 
Something will make her smile & be in a good mood again soon, cause after all, she is a teen!!

I have seen this look, on my Daughter, in person. *G*
Posted on December 1st, 2009 at 12:07 pmKarin says:
LOL I’m sure I gave my mother that look numerous times as a teenager.

Your snow is pretty, but I am grateful that I’m not there. Lately, when I receive the “why” question, I respond, “You don’t need to know why, just say ‘yes m’am’.”
