Kids. You never know what they're going to enjoy, do you?
OTOH they're fiercely protective of their dignity, yet OTOH they will wear a bunny-ear hat with enviable aplomb:
Above is Dmitry, Carolyn (sporting the bunny-ears chapeau), and Ravinn at Borders this afternoon, prowling through the manga section.
Later on I picked my bro-in-law, Richard, up from the doctor's office and drove him home. On the way back, heading east on Vickery, I looked in my rear view mirror and was treated to a gorgeous, deep red sunset. As I approached the Clover Lane intersection, a pair of reflective buildings downtown were bathed in the color of the sunset, making a startling tableau against the blue-gray cloudy background:
Unfortunately all I had at my disposal was my cell phone, but maybe you can get the idea. The above photo is a sad shadow of the reality, which was mesmerizing!

If it's THEIR idea to wear the bunny hat, it's cool.
If it's your idea to dress or act in what would ordinarily be considered some perfectly normal way, it's humiliating.
HA! Innit the truth? Had I handed her the bunny-ear hat, suggesting she wear it to the bookstore, she'd have doubtless have been horrified.
And why, o, why was she wearing bunny ears????? Why? Hmmmm??
Don't worry about the cellphone photo; your description, and the pink reflected also in the pavement, get the picture across famously!
Where was Dan, at the bookstore outing?
No, Dan gave it a miss. He is, after all, a couple of years older than Dmitry, who in turn is a couple of years older than the girls.
Dan has his dignity to consider.
Catch him wearing a bunny-ear hat!
Yeah, and if you'd handed her some perfectly normal article of clothing she'd probably have looked askance as well. It by definition would be uncool. That 14-15 age group is a trip.
