How Catherine Zeta Jones Lets Her Kids Know She ‘Means Business’
 George Napolitano/FilmMagic |
Although she considers herself "pretty easygoing," even Catherine Zeta Jones has her limits. When the 39-year-old actress has reached hers, there isn’t much guesswork involved for her two children with husband Michael Douglas. "People can tell a lot from my tone of voice," she explains. "My kids know when I raise my finger or do ‘the eyes’ that I mean business." Catherine adds,
"I don’t put up with much. I’m kind to everybody. But if you cross me, you know."
The couple, who were married in 2000, are parents to Dylan Michael, 8, and Carys, 5 ½.

If my shelties are any indication of what a snap means…my son doesnt stand a chance. Beth, I love the name of your daughter and have never seen that spelling. Super Cool! I love Carys! Liam was nearly a Dylan.

My Mom would clench her jaw and this vein would pop out on her forehead and her eyes would become kind of fixed. Scared the bejesus out of us.

Beth – I don’t know a tonne about the origins of Charis, but I do know that Carys is of Welsh origin. Although the fact that you say Charis is Greek might be the reason they chose Carys, as it sort of mixes the heritage of CZJ’s family.
