OK .. So if I gave this to your eldest granddaughter who, hypothetically, had red hair in front of your son and his wife.... you reckon they would
I could explain gently was just teasing. Mmmm .. just don't think they would be amused somehow.
This is not about friendly teasing ... is about pointing a difference in bodily make up to all others, which could incite bullying ... see that link that was put up on Facebook where people were encouraged to kick a red-head... and they did !! It is the word 'even' in that card which is offensive ... could put it another way and the caption could read "Despite your red hair, Santa still loves you". Another put down. A child would be completely bemused in the first place. Again, adults can take this, and not into heavy PC myself .. like the dumb blondes, greasy dark hairys ... mature enough to understand all this; a child is not.
Yes, agree with Bernadette that confidence should be built up in our children (we do that anyway if we are good parents ...'cause we all think our kids are the best thing since sliced bread) ... but respect comes first for all human beings in my book.
