Yeah, we all know that look don't we. I wish I had a dollar(US) for every time I got that look. I'd be a flamin' millionaire.
But for those of us who don't know the real story I found this:
This is an era when one honest image can ignite viral misinterpretation. So an Agence France-Presse photographer, Roberto Schmidt, has provided invaluable context for his photograph of a grinning President Obama joining two prime ministers in taking a snapshot of themselves at Nelson Mandela’s memorial ceremony.
On Wednesday, Mr. Schmidt explained what went on before and after that single moment interpreted in isolation. He was replying, he wrote, because he saw how that one image out of hundreds Agence France-Presse published “lit up” social media networks.
“I guess it’s a sign of our times that somehow this image seemed to get more attention than the event itself,” he wrote. “Go figure.”
I later read on social media that Michelle Obama seemed to be rather peeved on seeing the Danish prime minister take the picture. But photos can lie. In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance.

If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.
