It all has to do with their recessive traits. Brown is more dominant than blue, and blue is more dominant than green. Which means that, although their eye colors may have shown a certain color, they were still carriers for different eye colors and as the traits got passed down you and your mother got the recessive traits so you have different colored eyes than everyone else.
