Now if both your parents had blue eyes and you had brown eyes, the answer would be no.
Okay, so was my white lie really the truth or is it impossible for two blue-eyed parents to have a brown eyed son?
p.s. The guy finally became a Jehovah's Witness and that helped settle him down but didn't really stop his grumbling.
Mine are green...Parents’ are blue. Is my mama suspect?

Actuually, the eye thing is a little more complicated. My husband had brilliant clear blue eyes, mine are hazel. Both our boys have very dark brown eyes. My husband was 1/16th American Indian. I have Mongolian Tartar from the German Slavic side of my ancestry. I believe that the Oriental Brown eye is recessive to most of the possible European based colors, but that in our case my Asian genes were able to express themselves against my husbands pure blue color as that is the most recessive of all the eye colors. In addition, the one son has very dark hair and a swarthy cast to his skin color. The other son has high cheekbones and almond eyes. At birth he had a faint epicanthic fold to his eyelids which has since disappeared. Personal note: I took a semester of Genetics and Heredity in college.
