However, if we're talkin' genetics I'm gonna have to rely on a vague recollection of my 7th grd. Biology class (psst...thanks Coach Brock).
First we must determine our actual eye colors.
When Tony and I were first seriously dating he came over at my apartment for a New Year's Eve dinner party. In the middle of dinner I got a long distance phone call from my cousin Kevin who was drunk dialing me from Times Square. It went some thing like this:
Me: "Yello?"
Kevin: (background roar of 10,000 drunken happy people) "Guess where I am right freaking NOW?!!"
Me: "Hell?"
Kevin: "New FREAKING York!! WOOOOO!!"
Crowd: "WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Somehow we were able to carry on a conversation of sorts and he asked what I was doing. I said I was hanging out with my new boyfriend. Kevin wanted to know what he looked like and I said Tony was tall, with brown hair, and green eyes.
Kevin: "Alright Holt! Sounds NICE!"
Me: "Thank you!"
Tony: "Pardon me? I have WHAT color eyes now?"
See, apparently Tony has Brown (maybe Amber) eyes. In my defense his brown eyes are very light and my eyes are green, and I had been drinking lots of Champagne. But to. this. day. Tony randomly makes me tell him what color his eyes are just to make sure I haven't forgotten.
So here are our two parental eyes:
I seem to recall (7th grd. Bio) that Green eyes are somewhat rare and brown trumps green. Am I correct in my fuzzy recollection? Anybody remember how to do this? Anybody?

The way they teach you in school doesn't work. Brown is dominate, but if one of Tony's parents have lighter eyes he's a Bb (one dom, one not). If you're green, you're something like gg.
Anyway, they've now found out it takes like 12 different chromosomal matches to work it out.
Dave has hazel-y/brown eyes. I have blue. Violet got blue. Total crapshoot.
