What this could mean is that both you and your husband have recessive blonde genes that arent apparent because you also have the dominant brown genes but your child by pure randomness only got those blonde hair genes. They each have one working copy M and one non-working or fair copy m. The Ms underneath each parent represent his or her MC1R gene copies.
