Today, my husband and I, as well as our two oldest kids, have dark hair. Our youngest came out with very blonde hair, like my older brother's. My husband insists on calling the baby our little “golden-haired Lannister”, no matter how many times I’ve asked him to stop. He thinks it’s hilarious. FML

Suspicious Minds
Today, I finally found out why my wife always told me to never visit her at work. You see, my wife and I are dark haired with blue/brown eyes and our daughter is blonde with very striking emerald green eyes. You know who else is blonde with striking emerald eyes? My wife’s boss. FML

Today, my son was finally born. He was the perfect weight, as healthy as can be, and has his father’s dark, chocolate complexion. At least I’m guessing so, since both my wife and I are white. FML

Suspicious coincidence?

Foiled by genetics
Today, I was chatting with my optician and it came up that eye colour is determined by parents eye colour, such as how blue and brown-eyed parents can’t make a green-eyed baby. My wife and I are blue and brown. Our 6 year-old has green eyes. I confronted her and she admitted she'd had an affair. FML

Today, I noticed my nephew has blue eyes, freckles and dimples which don't run in my family or my sister's husband's family, but they do run in my husband's family. FML

Today, I colored my hair. It was supposed to turn out blonde, but it became more a mix of red and brown and blonde patches. When I tried coloring everything back, a green tint was added. My hair is at the moment red, brown, blonde and green. FML

Today, I decided to dye my hair blue. The result is slightly different than I expected: my white bathroom is now blue, and so are my skin and nails. The only thing that isn't blue is my hair, which is now green. FML

My parents are both brown hair and I had blond hair the first four years of my life, my sister a red head, then she had black, then she had blond, now she has brown hair all naturally. Don't worry, I'm sure it's your baby.

Both my parents had black hair. I'm blond, my oldest sister is red and my middle sister has the dark brown.

Blonds actually have traces of red hair in their natural hair color, so it really isn't that weird or anything that you have a red head son

Don't worry, your wife is not cheating. Bliss hair are recessive alleles. Red hair is dominant. Dominant alleles always overpower recessive. In Gregor Mendel's experiments, the pea plants where all tall. In the F2 generation 75% of the plants were tall while only 25% were short. Even though the pure parental plants, (who were actually not pure since they had short, which are recessive alleles, genes.) Anyway, that 25%, in this case, would be red hair. Your baby just was that 25%. Surprisingly, this isn't too rare. Nerd spew is over; you all may return to your lives.

You are stupid (no offense). If red hair was dominant, you'd have to have red-haired parents to have red hair yourself. For two parents without a trait to give birth to a child with that trait, the parents would have to be carriers. You can only be a carrier of a recessive gene. Imagine "R" is the dominant non-red gene, while "r" is the recessive red gene. The parents in question were probably both Rr. In an Rr case, the dominant non-red "R" takes over. Their child took the "r" allele from each parent, ending up with a genotype of "rr", which allows the red-hair trait to appear.

Agreed. If red hair was really dominant, then OP would have cause to worry. As that is not the case, well, then everything is fine. #336, you are not really a nerd on this subject if you got such a basic fact wrong.

Sometimes your children inherit some of your parents/ grandparents genes... Just saying... Lol :P
