    Having started with Ms. Simpson (Camille) in one of the rougher schools of NYC, I can vouche for her trademark ’stink eye.’ Even the backs of adults went rigid because you knew she meant business — this included the principal.

    I love this! it has worked with my kids like a charm, but it can be overused. Now they give me my stink eye back :-)
