Behold your present, Cait. OH SAVAGE BURN.
The guy at the end of the table next to the kid is a fashion designer that works with Adam's mom and the kid is his.
It’s not as simple as just looking at the parents.
To be fair, the old “mother’s father” concept for alopecia androgenetica seems to be partially true. It’s more likely in males than females due to the XY (vs XX) chromosomes, but research does show baldness is inherited from both parents.
In short, Adam is more likely than not to develop some sort of baldness, but its not a sure bet.

I know that. They don’t. Although they were more discussing his gut. Rather than his head.

Ah. That makes more sense.
Now I feel like a jerk for conclusion-jumping.

Nah, I’m just it’s still a literal coin-toss if he’ll be a fashion model or a game programmer. XD
