Both your parents carried a recessive gene for blue eyes. They had a four in one chance of any child having blue eyes.

So I have blue eyes and my wife has brown eyes. Her mother had blue eyes, her father brown.

I tell her that our future children are going to have brown eyes. That's not quite right, is it?

Interesting. Both my parents have brown eyes as do my siblings yet I have blue eyes and I am the 4th child. The 5th child got brown eyes.

I think you meant a one if four chance.

That's one possibility.

That's some pretty good odds.

That’s 1 in four.... according to Gregor Mendel’s genetic trait grid thingy.

I always thought both my parents were idiots growing up.

Fortunately, there was a one in five chance of them creating a genius and here I am!
