I'm a 30-something mum of two Not-So-Small humans, a cat, & a rottweiler. I read a lot, write a bit, eat too much cake and have dubious taste in music.
I'm a Leader in Squirrel & Cub Scouts, and if I'm not at home, I'm probably at the Scout Hut.
My hair is usually some shade of blue...

Similar issue with us. Me dark as you like, OH blonder than blonde. First born – ginger. Been thru the old milkman/window cleaner gags more times than I can remember. Tsk.
Oh what a puzzle! Do you want my science teacher answer?
Well…
Both you and your husband are carriers of the blonde gene which is recessive, which meant there was only a 25% chance that you had a blonde baby but you did because each of you hands over one gene and that codes for the colour, so if you both gave you blonde gene you would have a blonde baby, however because brown is dominant, it would over rule any blonde gene had you or you husband given it! Does that make sense?
