(Family Note: When discussing this with Son-Two, a redhead, he revealed to me that his school years were often rather tortured, socially, all the way from elementary through high school by the teasing and taunting he got as a redheaded boy. I wish I had known he was suffering in silence over this -- I would have kicked some 10 year old butt on his behalf!)
Anyway, Son-Two brought the following article to my attention and we high-fived in solidarity and a hint of smugness, especially since we two are the rarest of rare with our red hair and blue eyes.

So, now we feel better and will take to teasing all of you blondes and brunettes about your Vitamin D deficiencies.
At least, that's the view from here… ©
FROM AN EMAIL: Thanks Donna. Most interesting self exploration and windows into your life. One additional benefit to being a red-head is that we don’t turn grey. so neiner neiner to all those who teased us in grade school who now spend lots of money and time on coloring their grey.
