when I was pregnant, went out to lunch with Dave's mom and asked her about Dave's biological dad's blood/heritage/free tree and she looked at me like I was insulting her

she didn't even tell Dave that her husband John wasn't his real dad until he was 14.

He said he had/his mom had, something about his mom's side and he could send me a copy,

but he never did.

I always think of this around St. Patrick's Day.  Want Beth to know, and keep it.

Don't it make my brown eyes, blue

What is the genetic mutation "Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Professor Hans Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. "But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a "switch," which literally "turned off" the ability to produce brown eyes." The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin. The "switch," which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris -- effectively "diluting" brown eyes to blue. The switch's effect on OCA2 is very specific therefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour -- a condition known as  albinism...
