That’s funny. I just snorted white wine (a lovely Chardonnay) out of my nose from laughing.

let all your unintelligent prejudices hang out there.

Hmmm…bring home a balding fat boy and see what she says then!
June 25, 2009 at 7:52 am
Wow…. my fiance is a red head. I think he’s gorgeous. I love the red hair and I think it’s one of the first things that attracted me to him. Sorry the guy hasn’t called and if you like him it doesn’t really matter if your mom won’t. Just don’t go to the beach with her and that’ll fix that problem. >.>

I think this is hilarious. Totally something my mom would say and ONLY because we both love to spend hours a day at the beach.
June 25, 2009 at 8:56 am
Little Lemon, I don’t think it’s as much about prejudices as it is about a mothers propensity to imagine the ideal mate for her child and reject all that don’t conform to that ideal even in the silghtest.

As an auburn, I enjoy the beach with 70 sunblock and a shady spot!
June 29, 2009 at 2:18 pm
i LOVE Gingers :)
July 1, 2009 at 10:23 am
boo! We redheads love the beach—and hats, umbrellas, and sunblock! That’s what you call adaptable.
July 1, 2009 at 7:30 pm
I think mom is just doing the sour grapes thing, and couldn’t think of anything else ‘wrong’ with him. :P
I love ginger hair … it is gorgeous, especially on cute guys. :D

HAHAH, these are the two best reasons to get over a boy, your mother is genius.
