Carrot Top

A mom brought two children to WIC clinic recently, a boy about 4 and a girl about 2 years old.  The boy had flaming red hair and some of it was sticking straight up.  The girl had brown hair pulled into cute little pigtails.  I asked the boy if anyone ever called him "carrot top."  He said, "That's silly.  The tops of carrots are green."  Mom chimed in and said that on the way to WIC, the boy told the girl, "Your hair is really wild.  Mine is handsome."
