It’s a saying which means people turn out like their parents.

Did you turn out like any or both of your parents?

I did. And I hate that I did !

My mother uses that expression to describe people negatively. For instance, she always says it about my son having the exact same traits as my ex husband (his father)

I inherited the teasing nature of my Dad and his looks. Most the rest of my personality is definitely my Mothers

I always thought it was “The apple never falls far from the tree.”

But that must be a British thing…

I wish that were true. My dad is like a whirlwind at 72 with MS.

Not that I want the MS, but the whirlwind would be nice.

I have my mom’s hands and my dad’s nose. My mom is an avid gardener and loves flowers just like me. My dad likes savory, salty foods which is like me too.

As for personality I don’t know whose traits I have.

Hmmm I kinda feel like I’m a good 50/50 mix of my parents. I inherited my pop’s temper, and analytical smarts. As for my Mamacita I feel like I got her sense of spirituality and big heart.
