Wow, genetics for you (friend's kids mentioned)

This is kind of a trip. A girl I went to HS with is of singapor(ian?) descent. She's stunning, has darker skin, gorgeous eyes and black hair. Her DH is white, and their 4 year old son is blond/huge round blue eyes.

She just had a baby girl last week, and the baby girl is darker, black hair and has her mother's eyes. There's a picture of the two of them together and you would NEVER guess that they're siblings.

Funny how genetics work like that.

    I'm too busy being jealous of your gorgeous friend and her gorgeous family to think about genetics.

    I guess I'm the only one who found that interesting. Sorry!

    That is funny!  I have a friend who is Asian, and her husband is white.  Her kids also turned out the exact same way - first child, dark blond hair & blue eyes, second child, looks just like her mom.  I always thought dark hair/dark eyes would dominate those traits, but I guess she had a recessive gene somewhere in her past.

    There was a woman a while back who had two sets of twins. Each set had one who was light like mom and dark like their dad. I think they did IVF but the chances of it happenng (let alone twice) were very slim. I always found genetics so interesting.

    That's interesting.  I think genetics are very interesting.  In Dh's family, his mom has brown eyes and his dad has blue eyes.  There are 5 kids.  DH is the only one with brown eyes, the rest have blue.  Brown is suppose to be dominant.
