My father has red hair, my mother has.. well..technically it's Clairol number 109, or something like that.. anyway, when she was born she was a toehead but when she was a teenager, it turned to light brown.. So why am I a redhead? People always told me it was because my Dad had redhair, so I must have gotten it from him. NOPE! After some research on the subject I have found that in order for a child to be born a redhead.. BOTH parents must carry the MCR1 gene.. it's a resessive gene.. meaning, it can skip generations and at any moment it could pop up.. So my mom carried this gene even though she wasn't a redhead.. Her Great Aunt Bunny (on her mom's side) was a redhead. My Dad has an Aunt who is a redhead as well, Aunt Borghild (Borgie for all of you non-Norwegians).
My son is not a redhead.. But he's cute anyway! See!
Oh and the reason why some of the Irish have redhair is because my ancestors, the Vikings, went to Ireland, raped and pillaged, and left the MCR1 gene behind.....
Your Welcome!

Your son is a doll!
You should post your GlamourShot where you have the cowardly lion hair.
Damn Irish, they like to think they came up with that flaming red hair all on their own. . .
