Lol, this thread hits close to home for me. My wife and I both have dark brown hair and eyes. Our two year old however is blonde and very blue eyed. These traits came from our mothers. We do hear the mail/milk man jokes quite often 🙂

This is actually typical, blue eyes require double recessive genes.
 
Grandfathers - Blue eyed German and Black eyed Spaniard
Grandmothers - Green eyed Italian and Black eyed Spaniard
My Mom - Brown eyes

Mother did artificial insemination because my father had a vasectomy when they met. So, there was no cheating. (Which would be out of character for her)

Found out today. Thought you guys would like to revel in your glory.
