Learn English as a Second Language to Become the Apple of my Eye

Idiom for the Day

……the apple of my eye...……

If you are the apple of your mother’s eye, you are her favorite and get special treatment. The apple of my eye is very lucky in deed. The apple of my eye always get preferential treatment. Remember this is an idiom so it has nothing to do with fruit or vegetables. And, this doesn’t expand to other fruits and vegetables. If you are the carrot of someone’s eye, this person probably does not know English very well.
