Same situation in my family. Dad brown-eyed, Mom blue-eyed, but Dad carried a blue recessive gene. Of their six kids, only one...that would be me...came out with brown eyes. Four had blue eyes and one had hazel.
You are not alone! :-)
see, i've always thought that too, i'm not sure,
but i think the article said something different.
they compaired the genetics to a lightbulb. brown
eyes vs. blue eyes is one lightbulb and hazel/green
is a different lightbulb.
