My mother used to communicate with eyes while I was growing up…
When visitors are in the house and I am jumping up and down, there is an eye sign which means ”get out”
When visitors are eating and you want to eat with them, there is this particular look which means ”if you collect anything here I will skin you alive” but meanwhile she will be telling the visitors “don’t mind her, she won’t eat or she has eaten..”
When you pay a visit to any family member and you want to cry over what is not yours, there is this look which means ”if I hear pim from you again, I will flog you dead”.
But today’s mother… I mean our young mummies today ehhh…
Their eyes are already weakened with mascara, eye lashes and heavy-duty facelifts and make-ups from Mary Kay to Jenifer Lopez to Angelina Jolie. In short, the eyes can’t communicate again… when they are looking at a child, the child will be looking back at them because that child is seeing them as either a magician or masquerade or even doll baby, which they are used to.
