Why doesn't my son look anything like me?

I recently started to notice that my son looks nothing like me or my wife, Nancy. I'm a skinny white male with brown hair. I'm not athletic at all and can only bench press 35 pounds. My wife is also skinny and white, but has blonde hair. My son, however, is super athletic (he's quarterback on his Middle School football team), has black hair, and darker skin (an orangeish tone). What is going on here???

    Perhaps he has skipped a generation and resembles his grandparents? My boyfriend is 6'1 and neither of his parents are v.tall. However his grandad was 6 foot and they think he gets his tallness from him. If you are genuinely concerned perhaps you could do a dna test.
