Today, I noticed my nephew has blue eyes, freckles and dimples which don't run in my family or my sister's husband's family, but they do run in my husband's family. FML

Today, I ran into a friend that I hadn't seen in about 5 years. She had her 4-year-old son with her. I couldn’t help but notice her son looked almost identical to mine. He even had a very distinct facial feature that my husband has as well. What are the odds all three of them have the same defect? FML

Today, I sent a picture of my two little nephews to my friends, who now keep telling me how my older nephew looks exactly like me. They’re starting to make awkward statements such as, “Are you sure you didn’t have sex with your sister in-law?” FML

Today, as I was perusing old photos with my mother, I found one of her with a "childhood friend" at her wedding to my dad. Now I know where my green eyes and blotchy neck birthmark came from, and it's not from the man I’ve been calling "dad" for 40 years. FML

Paternity test before the rest

Today, after always laughing when my mom told me to avoid dating any guy with green eyes and thinking it was some weird prejudice, she told me the truth. My father cheated and had at least six other kids. They all have green eyes and look alike. FML

The family tree is a stump

Today, my family is too damn close. My uncle on my dad's side just got my aunt on my mum's side pregnant, three cousins from dad's side are dating three cousins from mum's side, and a half brother from my dad is marrying my half sister from my mum. We are the inbred rednecks of this town. FML

Today, I was complimented on my freckles. I don't actually have freckles, just a load of blackheads that won't go away. FML

Foiled by genetics

Today, I was chatting with my optician and it came up that eye colour is determined by parents eye colour, such as how blue and brown-eyed parents can’t make a green-eyed baby. My wife and I are blue and brown. Our 6 year-old has green eyes. I confronted her and she admitted she'd had an affair. FML

Run a DNA test on both. Then kick ass if your poor sweet nephew is your stepson.

Seriously? OP, there's these things called "recessive traits." Just because no one in your family has them doesn't mean that they aren't there. Your family and your sister's husband's family had these recessive traits and your nephew got the traits. If you really still want to be absolutely sure, just take a paternity test, but I don't see the need for one.

It could just be a recessive gene that hasn't come out in a verrryy long time.... Hopefully..

Dimples are usually a safe sign - granted your husband doesn't have to be the father. I'd ask the sister in a quiet moment if the boy might be adopted, donor sperm or God knows what all is possible (if you were around for the pregnancy adoption of course is less likely) YLS, OP.

A. Those are all recessive traits so they tend to pop up randomly. They could disappear for generations and pop up once. B. If you SERIOUSLY think you're husband would do something like that you should get counseling or I he's smart he'll get a divorce.
