Today, my wife and I both have blond hair and blue eyes, we just had a red headed son. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
GOT FML
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?
Today, my wife had our first child. He's identical to her coworker. FML
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 was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. FML
Today, I discovered that my wife named our kids after her former lovers. We have two sons and a daughter. FML
It's called fashion, Deborah
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

Blond hair is a recessive gene. It's impossible to have anything but a blond kid if the parents are both blond. OP is right. . . All of the people who say OP doesn't know anything about science, please go back to seventh grade.

The problem is that blond hair is also recessive, just like having red hair. In order to show a recessive gene, you must have two copies of it and your body only has room for two copies of the same 'type' of gene, meaning that two blond parents can ONLY produce a blond child. Unless one of you is a mutant. In fact, I don't understand how a truly blond mother could produce redheaded child at all, because she would need to carry at least one redhair gene in order to give one to her child, which would make her a strawberry blonde, not a true blonde. Or the child could be a mutant. Research "somatic mutation dog". It's possible that the hair only has a temporary reddish tint that will fade with time because of unusual conditions in the womb, a medical condition of the mother or fetus, or medication given during pregnancy. Puppies and kittens can be born with green fur if they are exposed to their own meconium while in the womb. In human babies, this can turn their fingernails yellow, their umbilical cord dark green, make the vernix caseosa (white paste covering skin) be yellowish brown, and have jaundice (yellowish) skin. Adults hair can fade to red due to prolonged malnourishment. Even consuming pigment-rich food and drinks (seaweed, dyed drinks) or herbal supplements can have significant and unexpected effects on the human body. Does either of your families have a history of multiple births (twins, triples, etc) or were either of you conceived using in vitro fertilization? Are either of you left-handed? (Google "left handed people are twins") It is possible for one developing fetus to absorb its twin and have the GENES of the silent/dead twin develop inside the body of the living twin and so one or a few organs can genetically belong to a brother or sister that was never *really* born. See "genetic chimera". Once a woman nearly had her children taken away (during a divorce) because DNA tests said she was the kids' aunt, not mother; turns out she was a chimera and her ovaries had the DNA of her absorbed twin sister. A rapist nearly got away with his crime because the DNA of his blood told the lab techs that he was a brother of the sperm he left on his victim. On another note, while it is possible for one developing fetus to absorb its twin and have the GENES of the silent/dead twin develop inside the body of the living twin, it is also possible for one developing fetus to absorb its twin and have the (dead) fetal BODY of the silent/dead twin develop inside the body of the living twin; see "fetus in fetu".

my husband has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. our daughter has red hair and blue eyes. she's 2 1/2 now, so it's not just newborn fuzz. karma for him saying he "would never have a freaky little ginger" when I ran our pictures through a baby generator for fun and they all came out redheads.

thats just basic science dude? the odds are especially high since you're both blond.

Red hair is a recessive gene that can stay hiding for generations.
