It's great to be a redhead

After all of the years of hating my hair color and putting up with threats to be beaten like a step-child, I've finally begun appreciating my red hair. For one thing, redheads take a long time to go grey. First we have to go to brown and only then on to grey. I know it'll happen, but I take some measure of comfort in knowing that it won't be for a good while yet.
