My dad would tease me that I must not be his kid, with my blue eyes (his are hazel, Ma's were very dark brown) but I learned by 4th grade to say "Yeah, but Grandpa has blue eyes and so does Bummy (my maternal grandfather) so I can TOO be your kid!"
Pa's constant reminder about genetics in our somewhat muddled background is that we have black haired swedes and blond frenchmen in the family tree. After findong out I have a genetic abnormality common in eastern europeans, I asked him which ancestor took the slave girls from Russia.
