Anna has red hair. This is a bit of an understatement. She has crazy bright flaming hair. It really catches people's attention. On a regular basis, people will stop us to comment on Anna's hair. She's figured out how to answer to "where'd you get that hair?" and "you have such beautiful hair". These are the 2 questions/ comments we get at the pool, at Target, at the mall, at any restaurant, etc.I never had this kind of flaming hair - mine is more of a subdued red. But I do remember as a kid that I wished I didn't have red hair because I didn't love being different. But I quickly got over that as an adult when I realized people pay a lot of money to get this color.
And then Anna broke my heart yesterday. We're brushing her hair and she said she wanted her hair to be brown. I was shocked and asked why. "So then people won't stop us in stores to talk about my hair." So sad. I guess she also has to learn about the trials of red hair and then embrace it. Life does repeat itself, I guess.

Well at least she hasn't told you that you have brown hair when you have had red hair your entire life! haha. She will appreciate the red in 20 years... when it turns brown.
