Boy, do I have a lot of relatives.

[Terpfen]

My eyes were blue as a child, but are now green.

Uh-oh.

[Welsh Rabbit]

I’m the only person in my family with blue eyes, and I have seven uncles, five aunts, and almost thirty cousins. I’m also the only redhead. Was I adopted?

[KTM rider]

Oh great...so I am a mutant !

[Allegra]

We’d have to rent out an awfully big place for that family reunion.

All Blue-Eyed People Are Related

Worst pickup line ever.

Aaack! Does this mean I’m married to a, to a, to a RELATIVE? It sounds awfully incestuous. (LOL!)

[shekkian]

So if I marry a blue-eyed woman, I might be a redneck?

[SuzanneWeeks]

Okay, then, they need to explain my son’s eyes to me! My husband and I both have BROWN eyes and Dark Brown hair, and my son’s are the most brilliant blue I have ever seen and he has a mess of blonde hair!

LOL, just kidding...I know that DH and I both have the Bb eye gene (BB = Brown, Bb = Brown, bb = blue) SO - Bb x Bb will equal 1 out of 4 times a offspring with bb, blue eyed baby. SOOOO glad I paid attention during the genetics portion of Bio 101!

Still get people asking me if my darling Cooper is adopted though. Stupid People.

This now concludes today’s Eye Gene Lesson, you may now go back to your regularly scheduled postings....

Well... I hate to break it to y’all... but you go back far enough and we’re ALL relatives.

Whether it was Adam and Eve or a flash of life in a pool of slime somewhere... we pretty much all started out in the same place.
