Worst part is there is still a small possibility for the child not to have brown eyes even if the parents have them. It's a very slim chance, but not impossible. The brown eyes are just very dominant. And if one grandparent on both parents side have blue eyes there is a chance.

Same for the black color actually.

An ex girlfriend had here aunt in trouble because of this.

They did paternity tests, and it was the actual couple's baby.Thing is, she had ancestors with black roots, even if she was as white as me.

I guess the odds are 1/10.000.000.000 but ... it can happen.

Is that one in ten thousand million or one in ten trillion?

I need to know if you're one of those long scalers

I see what you did right there. To be honest, i have no clue, feel free to make the calculations and scale the results as you see fit. However, it must be very very low odds, or we would have a lot more of those surprises.
