SUMMARY: When someone just needs to be reminded whose opinion matters around here.
I don't recall who coined the phrase. Levy rays. Shooting out of the eyes of any of the women in the Levy family, which is a small, finite set. Mom. All of us sisters. I suppose, possibly, next generation, my nieces. But this hasn't yet been confirmed.
Occasions for their use (only in generally good humor, not in true anger) by someone towards you:
- Particularly bad pun
- You've been told to stop taking so many photos, and yet you keep taking them
- You admit to maybe having done something illegal or at least naughty at some time in the past
- You make a suggestion that you will do something illegal or at least naughty at some time in the future (e.g., "I think that, the next time my wife is gone for the day, I'm just going to load up everything from the garage into the truck and take it to the dump." >> Levy rays from wife.
Mom was the originator. For all the years that she done did 'em, I never labeled any photo with that phrase, and yet I'm sure I *must* have taken some at some point (see item #2 above). I hunted and hunted and found one where she's exaggerating a bit for the camera, but you get the idea.
Note to self: They have no impact on the dogs whatsoever. Although sometimes I think they use them on me.
