I'm a little surprised that I haven't gotten the "red hair" comments with E, yet. But then again, everyone's default seems to be, "Where did he get that red hair?" And if I'm with him, the answer is fairly obvious. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gems-at-the-grocery-store#post-1706163 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:52:40 +0000 Crystal 1706163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One person once told me redheads are gods mistakes. </p> <p>ummmm, what?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gems-at-the-grocery-store#post-1706160 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:51:23 +0000 spaniellove 1706160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is wrong with people!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gems-at-the-grocery-store#post-1706159 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:51:21 +0000 Aandmklover 1706159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some people are just crazy.

We've had nothing but the look at the red hair comments so far. I can't believe someone would say that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gems-at-the-grocery-store#post-1706042 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:30:34 +0000 blackbird 1706042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I'm glad you said something! I tend to just stare in utter disbelief at people. </p> <p>Baby gingers are insanely cute.

But making a mean comment to a pregnant lady about her son doesn't go over well! </p>
