Expresions – My family leason

 I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I had to work two jobs to put
myself through college.
 We’re all glad that Mark took after his mother instead of his father. His father
was a thief, but his mother was a saint.
 John ended up in prison just like his father. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far
from the tree.

 Sam’s a chip off the old block. He and his father are both stubborn, headstrong
people.
 I decided to go into law instead of medicine. I thought about following in my
father’s footsteps and becoming a surgeon, but I don’t think I’d make a great
doctor.
 Jimmy is tall just like his father, and they have the same smile. Like father, like
son.
 Talk to your doctor about any illnesses that run in your family.
 Law is in my blood. I’m a lawyer, and so is my father, my grandfather, and two
of my aunts.
 My son is a spitting image of my husband.
 Melanie’s garden is her pride and joy. Nothing makes her happier than
spending her weekends making it look beautiful
 Our grandson is the apple of our eye. We absolutely adore him.
 I feel fortunate that I get along with my family so well.
 There were some disagreements about my mom’s inheritance, and two of my
brothers had a falling out over it.
