Mimi's Genes

In my family, appearance-wise, my mother's genes prevail. Brown hair, brown eyes. Us three kids, all brown. My poor father has a gaggle of turdly children, none of which allowed his recessive blue/grey eyes to mark them as his own. He just had to take my mother's word for it.

I thought for sure my own children would follow suit, brown & turdly, like me. But look! What light hair these two ladies have!
They could be twins!
And Storey's eyes? Still as green/grey/hazel as the day she was born.

Sawtell genes prevail! Not that there's anything wrong with brown, Mom. Other than the fact that it's the color of turds.
(Okay already, Kris...)
