Irish police remove blonde child from Roma family

48. Yep, and that's also why I added the wink....

So hopefully you'd see that, especially as I told the story, that I've found a great deal of humor over the years in the fact I'm a recessive and I wasn't trying to be mean or anything. My father had no idea there were any redheads, or any folks with green eyes, in his family tree. He never really knew his father, and his mother was adopted. But she had dark hair, dark eyes, and a dark complexion, as did he. He also had no idea how to take care of a toddler with fair skin, leading to one horrific sunburn I remember as a two-year-old. As I grew older, it became obvious I was his daughter even with different coloring, and my little brother's coloring also differed (though he wasn't a full-on ginger).

Mendellian genetics also often fails, because my mother's parents were both blue-eyed, and hers are a dark golden color. The green gene may somehow be related to that, I think, because my older sister *and* my little brother have green eyes, too, but none of our parents have had green eyes (my older sister's dad is not my father). We know my grandfather was my Mom's dad, they look very much alike, and it was his side that had other gingers. Also, my grandmother was far too repressed to have a milkman in the closet.
