Is a hat really that distracting?

I mean really. I am wearing a dark colored beanie. Will people really be distracted by that? I mean, i would be distracted by some crazy or tall hat, but like, a beanie or a snapback? i might comment on it, but seriously? i wouldn't sit and stare at it and dream or whatever adults think kids do to other kids hats.

I really don't think a normal person's hat would be at all distracting. If i wore a beanie, would it really distract from the lesson? Why would a thick headband be counted as a hat? What if that is part of my ensemble? Would the authority make me take off my headband?

Wouldn't the bad hair day i am covering with that hat be more distracting than the hat itself? Personally someone's bad hair day is pretty distracting, but there is no rule against that.

Why is one person "scarier" than another?

   I asked a few people this question, and put on the spot this is what they answered:

•  Because you see different sides of them
• Mindset
• Because one bites
• Because they look wierd
• Appearance
• Because of what they do
• Because of how tall they are
• Demeanor or self confidence (how you hold yourself)
• Because one might be a cannibal
• Because the word scary is relative
• You might know one of them
• Teeth
• If one has no sense of boundaries, morality or rules. They don't know how to control themselves.
• How they dress
• Because one has a higher chance of hurting you

   All of these answers are true. If you believe something, it becomes truth.

   Some questions, we think we have the answers to, and then when we are put on the spot and asked to answer, we can't just say it.

   Why do we get so tongue tied? Why, when we KNOW the answer can we not put it into words? I bet you want me to answer, but the truth is, i don't know the answer.

   All i know is we can try to say what we are thinking, because trying is half of the battle.

   Anyway, back to the question. In my opinion, one person may have the appearance of being scary through, piercings, hair color, hair style, and body shape. But wait? What if the person with a "normal" appearance looks scarier? What makes a person's smile friendly or scary? I am considered "scary" to some people. 

    When a person looks at another person, they see something that maybe the person next to them doesn't see. Whether you know them better, or feel more comfortable with one, everything is based on opinion, and impression.

   A first impression is important. We had best remember that.
