Why do red heads...

Fuck you.

I AM

vibrant?

Well fuck you anyhow.

I am a redhead who knows how to get shit DONE! Sometimes!

(I'm kind of dancing around - but that's none of your business)
 
True story-
A long time ago and far, far, away I was married and had a step daughter that was about 11 yrs old.

She was a skinny little red headed freckled face with big blue eyes.

Her dad would tell her how ugly she was and that she would be alone all her life.

She loved to draw and wanted to be a clothing designer when she grew up but any attempt to draw was criticized to a point that she quit trying.

Anyhoo, I got her to drop the pain and started drawing designs and when she said what her dad had told her about her looks I told her that when she grew up that boys would line up to take her on a date because she was going to be beautiful more than she could imagine.

Present day, she grew up and had a beautiful redheaded blue eyed daughter that looks just like her.

She told me that everything I had told her came true and she would teach her daughter the same stuff I told her when she was young.

I don't know why redheads grow up hating the traits that make them so attractive in life and art.

Redheads have a special fire inside.

We grow up thinking that we are unattractive. We hate our freckles, we hate our pale skin, we hate our bright hair. Then, around a certain age, we get those curves, discover our sensuality, etc. And BOOM! We learn that men love us!

Amen & Hallelujah!!

Dude, you're supposed to beat a red-headed stepchild!

(Where did that cliche come from, anyway?)

Two of many explanations-

1. A stepchild is often presumed to be less favored than biological children. If a parent was abusive, a stepchild might get the worst of it. (Similarly, a rented mule would be less valuable than one you own.)

2. I believe 'beat you like a red-headed stepchild' came from the movie "The Wrath" starring a young Charlie Sheen. It was a teenage flick from the 1980s.

But I've always believed this one-

Linked to the Viking invasions experienced in Britain and Ireland in the 11th century. The Vikings came down from their area, pillaged and raped and left a few red-headed children.
Being so obviously different from the rest of the children in the area, they were subject to discrimination by parents knowing their origin was from an invading source.
I can imagine that these children would have suffered the wrath of the local population who could obviously identify them as products of the Vikings violent influence on their culture.
They were an easy target to vent the frustration of this phenomenon of force.

The Viking one is the one I've heard of also.
