That Look


from the ABC set Thoughts and Whispers.

That look.
That look that tells me I’ve been caught in wrong doing
That look that is half anger, half amusement.
That look that tells me you’ve been watching me for some time, lost in my mischief.
That look that only mothers have.
That look.
How I miss that look.

Brilliant. Love how it goes from being mischievous to being wistful and mournful. Loads of power in just eight lines. Fab.
