Brunette parents with redhead kids constantly get 'must be the postman' jokes

A mum was shocked when her children were born with red hair despite both parents being brunette - and says people joke the postman must be their dad. Jessica Enslow, 48, is mum to seven kids and the youngest three - who are her current husband's - have glowing red locks.

Jessica revealed people can't believe she and her brown-haired husband, Rob, 44, a technology management consultant, are their parents. She said she constantly gets jokes that flame-haired Lincoln, 13, Alexis, 11, and Eli, nine, must actually be the postman's.

Jessica and Rob say they get comments made multiple times a day both in person and online. But the parents are so used to it that they no longer even notice.
