S/O dh-ism - blonde babies

So dh and I have been going back and forth about what coloring we think the baby will have. I am super fair and while dh isn't super dark he still has dark hair and eyes. Suddenly dh blurts out one day that a lot of little blonde kids always look kind of dirty to him. Surprise I was super blonde as a kid. AngrySo I tell him he is a hater.

I asked him to eloborate and he said when he sees really blonde (think tow head blonde) kids they always look really sticky and dirty. I asked him to elaborate further and he really couldn't, I told him most kids are sticky and he is nuts. (This is all completely in jest btw I hope no one gets offended).

So to be a smart a$$ I start going through my baby/toddler/kid pictures since my hair was practically white to prove him wrong. I'll be dammned if in 75% of the candid pictures I don't have dirty cheeks and knees. LOL

Re: S/O dh-ism - blonde babies

  • Never noticed blonde babies being any dirtier than any other kids.  Men and their odd thoughts.

  • Either have I. So weird, I am guessing maybe some filthy little blonde kids lived on his block when he was a kid or something. LOL
  • LOL that in your pics you were dirty!

  • I was always the dirtiest child, out of all my playmates. I still somehow get dirtier than everyone else too...

    And completely different conversation.... Is it really tow head? I always thought toe head lol. Neither really makes sense to me, but now I feel dumb.

  • LOL! Its totally funny because you proved him right! Except you're just one example and not ALL - lol.

    Yes Mar, I think it is "tow" because I recently saw someone else write it and it was "tow" and I'm sure someone will come up with a wiki link but two people is my back up for now.

    When I think of toe head it makes me think of Full House because there was episode where Joey said he thought all the people though his head looked like a big toe. Hahahah On that note I guess I am not sure.

    *Summer* I totally did not show him the pictures. In addition to that I found my kindergarten graduation class picture and I am not dirty in it but my cheeks are so blotchy (like in a few others) I didn't show him that either because I look like I have sticky stuff on my cheeks but I know I totally do not. Poor fair kids getting a bad rap.

  • That's funny! I bet if you looked at his old pictures, he'd be dirty too though.

    Summer, I couldn't get wiki but this was the next best thing: http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/5/messages/817.html 

    Tow refers to hemp...

  • That's so funny that he has that weird image in his head that all blonde kids are dirty.  Maybe they show dirt more like light colored clothing?  I was a blonde haired/fair skinned child and definitely wasn't dirty looking.  I knew a lot of darker haired kids in school that always looked dirty to me. 

    I also thought it was toe head. But I like everyone else learned this from watching Full House.  So I have no idea what is realiable. 

  • I was a white hair blonde kid and never dirty. I hated being sticky and dirty!

    That is pretty funny that you kind of proved yourself wrong.

    I heart Ben!!

    I will.

    I swear I wasn't some scuzzy kid or anything especially once I was living with my grandparents. I think the majority of the pics I found were between when my mom and dad died and my dad was not quite as insane about not taking pictures where his kid looked homeless like a mother would have been LOL
