Blue eyes hypnotize baby

But, wouldn't the mutation that causes blue eyes be a recessive gene?

Well, I don't think we can really say that and be 100% sure. It probably became so common that over time we just started calling it a recessive gene, but nothing is 100% in genetics. Example: there's a plant (forgot its name) that has light spots on its leaves, and it's natural. The reason for that is that the plant was infected by a parasite a long, long time ago, and it developed these spots because it looked like it had the parasite. Now don't take my word on it, what I'm telling are things that my biology teacher told me, besides I don't know why would a plant develop this, it's not like you can fool bacteria with looks. But it's what she said anyway. So, my guess is that most (or maybe even all) recessive genes are just slightly more common ancient mutations. Even blond hair used to be a mutation, I think.

The genetics of eye color are actually way more complicated than just the whole "punnet square, recessive, dominant, 2 gene" stuff you learn in high school. There's multiple genes involved that interact.
