Hello, as far as redheads being more hot headed,I definitely agree that it’s because we are teased so much as kids and eventually just bite whatever pokes it’s fingers at us. Kids can be very mean to kids who stand out. Both my son and daughter were born with red hair,Keegan had blue eyes and Tanya has got dark brown. Mine are also blue and although I’m almost 51 I have practically no grey hair yet. Lucky for us!

I have a son with red hair and brown eyes. I could not ask for a more thoughtful, caring young man. He is very unique in that he likes what he likes and doesn’t care what anyone says about it. He’d give the shirt off his back to anyone. Once Cory is your friend he’s your friend for life! I wouldn’t trade him for anything!
