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

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

Actually, blonde hair and blue eyes are both recessive . So if they are both blonde with blue eyes then their children will all be blonde with blue eyes . Therefore, OP, in the wise words of Maury, "You are NOT the father !"

What color eyes does the baby have? If they are not blue you sit are not the father!

Seriously? Google recessive genes!

Yeah, both my fiance and I have brown hair with blue eyes, and our daughter was born with red hair. I knew red hair was recessive from sophomore biology, but he skipped that class and for the longest time thought I cheated (and I can tell you for sure I didn't) It took forever for him to kind of believe me, and didn't fully believe me until biology in college. Also, both of us have strong Irish backgrounds, especially him who has red in his beard if he grows it out enough, so it's not that hard to imagine.

No. Red hair AND blond hair are recessive. That means two blonds can only have a blond.

There are multiple genes that control hair color. Blonde hair is he recessive trait on one of the genes, and red hair is recessive on another. But the only way that the red hair will show up is if the blonde trait would be shown, as that is the only color that is light enough for the red hair.

Two reddish blonds can certainly have a blondish red.

My dad has blondish-brown hair, mom has blonde hair, I have dark brown (almost black) hair, and my sister has blonde, kind of reddish, hair. I'm also the only one with brown eyes in my entire family (on my mom's side). But I look exactly like my dad in terms of facial bone structure. It depends on the family tree. Your child could look like any of your relatives, not just you (or your wife, for that matter). Don't be such a douche.

it's a double recessive gene....... i learned that in 9th grade. don't worry.

Double recessive only is on some genes. Not all of them though idk if its on hair.

My parents both have dark brown hair; my mom has hazel eyes, my dad blue. I have brown hair, dark brown eyes; my sister: blonde hair, light brown eyes; my brother: red hair, green eyes. Yet all three of us look like a blend of our parents/relatives on both sides of the family. Quite a few genes go into hair/eye color. It's a lot more complicated than simple Mendelian genetics.
