Cracking the genetic code

Okay, I think I've cracked the code... It has been a mystery to us how we ended up with two WILD boys when according to us we were perfect children. If you had absolutely no interest in genetics at school then tune out now... I loved genetics, I did very well at biology (unlike most of the rest of my subjects) because it actually all seemed to make sense to me.

So with basic genetics there's dominant and recessive genes. With eye colour, brown is dominant and blue is recessive. So in our case Wolf and I both have a blue recessive gene from our dads being drowned out by the dominant brown but Lion has blue eyes because we both passed on a recessive blue gene to him. So with statistics that we all know mean jack all if we have four kids we should have one with a double dominant brown gene(brown eyes), two with the dominant brown and a recessive blue (brown eyes) and one with the double recessive blue genes (blue eyes). Except that statistics mean jack all, did I already say that? oh, no I crossed it out, not one read that... so you can end up with 4 kids with blue eyes, 4 kids with brown eyes or any combination of the two. This is where things have gone bad for us... Perfection is the dominant gene. Wild is the recessive. Apparently Wolf and I both have a recessive wild gene that has emerged TWICE in our children. I know what you are thinking "I stayed reading just for this?" "you are a genius Mummy McTavish" and yes, yes I am. This is just my contribution to society. You're welcome.

Hamish didn't do anything to us, he rode the currents down the coast (or whatever cyclones do) and he is still riding them at the moment, we got a skeric of rain and just a strong breeze, thank you for your prayers. He has been up and down between category 3, 4 and 5. He is now expected to make landfall Tuesday morning near Bundaberg. There is a small amount of hope that he will fizzle out in the cooler water but the news is jumping on one line that he will be "as big as Katrina". Lets hope not.
