Bangs of Distinction
Sonja and I’s first date was supper at the Big Ten restaurant near the University of MN campus. I’m pretty sure the Gophers were playing and we watched hockey while we ate burgers. But, that’s not what stuck in my head from that night. It was something Sonja joked about as to her uniqueness:
Did you know that only 3% of the world’s population has red hair?
I love trivia and I didn’t know this fact. I’m not even sure how we got on the subject, but I knew from that fact right there that I had met a one-of-a-kind (well, maybe 3 of a 100). So, today I chuckled when I read this article at the Minneapolis Star Tribune website…here’s a snippet:
Stories of bias against redheads may flare up now and again, but for Minnesotans who are part of the 2 to 4 percent of the world’s population who have red hair, a pattern seems to hold true — when they’re kids, they’re not always wild about being different. But when they grow up, they wouldn’t trade it for the world.
“…wouldn’t trade it for the world…”. AMEN, Strib!
i’m married to one of the 3% he is also a keeper.
How dear! We all love you, Sonja!
