I Fought the Law

Sadly for your children, and future generations of redheads yet unborn, this story has been debunked several times, though the most popular variant of the story has it that blondes will soon be extinct. The story's falsity has not, however, prevented it from being picked up by numerous news outlets, as a quick google for "redheads extinct" will prove.

Oh well. At least I did my part by marrying someone with a slate of dominant traits.

My understanding is that redheads (or 'gingers') get beat on even worse in England. I don't really get it, but there seems to be some seriously violent hatred directed at gingers. Or possibly I'm misunderstanding what I've read. Either way the whole business seems weird.

My mother, a flaming redhead, always told me (with icky nostalgia) how often she was asked by men if "the curtains matched the drapes."
Before redheads or blondes, I think the full bush ranks first as most likely to become extinct.

I relish the thought of our as-yet-unconceived delightfully redheaded babies. It will make my suit for increased child support all that more convincing.

Robyn: You mean, "If the *carpet* matched the drapes"? I think it is a fair bet that the curtains match the drapes. I make that mistake all the time too. Mainly when I'm talking to redheads!!

Well, I guess the redheads can drive SUVs and fly privates jets... they have no need to worry about global warming!!!

Carpet, yes.
I get confused and flustered when discussing interior design and/or my mom's...I can't say it.

I feel like it was at the same cultural moment when society began to value bare hardwood floors above carpet and the Brazilian wax entered the mainstream.

I think the worst part of being a redhead would be the freckles. My dad has red hair (in fact, everyone calls him Red, even though he hasn't been Red since the late 80s...it's funny to hear my cousins call him Uncle Red), and it sort of skipped a generation and went on to the grandchildren. I wish I had red hair...
