For me, it was the clearing of the throat. My grandmother was the champion, and I'll be damned if my mom didn't pick up her title and run with it. She could be on the other side of the house, but somehow i'd be doing something alone or getting into mischief with my brother, and we'd hear her clear her throat in our direction, and we'd freeze in hopes that it was going to be ok as long as we stopped whatever we were doing. lol
She didn't need a look, that throat-clearing sound could be employed from anywhere within hearing distance, and didn't require eye contact. lol
