...used to laugh and call him names....

scene: 2nd grade children milling around outside an elementary school during the winter in Montana. One red headed child walks up and the other children surround him and sing.

children singing: Rowdy the red haired reindeer has a very shiny head, and if you ever saw it, saw it, you would even say it glowed. All of the other children used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rowdy, Rowdy, join in any reindeer games.

The song would normally stop there and the first verse would just be repeated again. I would quietly blush and just take it in silence. When they saw I wasn't getting rattled there would just be a bit of laughter and then it was over.

Really though, Rowdy the red haired reindeer? What kind of dumb kids were they? I thought it was all about Rudolph's nose?
