If evolution is true then how come my son can’t breathe underwater?

According to the theory of evolution, random genetic mutations are the driving force behind adaptation. I live next door to a nucular (or nuclear in the “correct English”) power plant. Because of this, my DNA has undergone all sorts of random mutations, so my children should be very highly evolved.

I expected my son to be born with gills so that he could breathe underwater. He and I were going to become a father-son treasure hunting team. However, this is no longer possible, as my whole family has cancer thanks to the power plant. My son wasn’t highly evolved at all.

Doesn’t the fact that my son can’t breathe underwater disprove evolution?
I don’t want to worry anybody: my family doesn’t actually have cancer…

The part about wanting a son who could breathe underwater is true though…
