Your hair and eye chart is really cute, too. My husband and I both have blue eyes, but we have a couple family members who always repeatedly ask, "Do you think his/her eyes will stay blue??" with every one of our babies. Arg for multiple useless explanations. Although you could just start making shit up. "Oh, the doctor says they're going to turn yellow at six months. You know, because of the prenatal fish hormones I've been on. I just hope the other kids don't tease them too much. Although I guess if they're going to be teased about anything, it'll be the prehensile tail that's supposed to grow in at puberty."
I wish I knew more about how hair color worked, though. My girls, for example, were both born with very dark hair that was rubbed off and grew back blond. Yeah I've heard of that before! Bizarre. I've also heard some black babies are born pretty much white-skinned, and darken within the first year to the same dark brown as their parents.

Genetics is fascinating.
