What's a Teacher to Wear?

I had my students sitting around me as I was teaching them an absolutely fabulous math lesson. We'd been talking about probability, taking turns drawing marbles from a bag, talking about likelihood, and basically all of that great probability stuff. Almost through our discussion, I asked a question and several students raised their hands.  I saw one particular student with his hand raised and was hopeful because I thought he hadn't been paying attention at all. I called on him to which he answered, "You painted your toenails!" 

Not quite the answer I was looking for. 

Apparently I can't wear open-toed shoes now or nylons. Who knew they'd be such distractions?!
