==I believe the saying you are referring to is, "The apple doesn't FALL far from the tree."
It would be quite surprising for an apple to grow far from the tree.==
===I believe the saying you are referring to is, "The apple doesn't FALL far from the tree."
You are right there, I stand corrected. Guess I created my own "Bushism" <g>
But, you still caught the meaning of what I was attempting to say, right?===
Rhetorically speaking, there's barely a smigden of difference in the meaning of either saying. That's no "Bushism", it makes perfect sense. No apology necessary, there.
