The red hair mystery

I have said so before, but explination still eludes me that none of my children have red hair. My mother's ancestors were even recognized by their hair and my father has some fairer complexioned folk, and although Brandall was definately blonde, his beard always had a strawberry tint and upon closer examinatiom it contained red hairs, so, one would think I would end up with at least one red head.

At a camp once someone did not know my name and called me red, but I think it was my perm and alot of sunlight, because my hair is not red.

Whay got me thinking about this all was me telling my kids who listened intently as I told them stories of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, and one point that they really dug into was that there was a huge statue of him in Egypt that had his hair painted red, and that really stood apart from other Egyptians, but I also was telling them about Jacob and Essau and mentioned that Essau (sp?) had red hair, so my son asked "what's the big deal about red hair?"

I really do not know. Do you?
