The apple of my eye. You are the apple of my eye. Now what does this mean?

The apple. Well, apple is a fruit. It's a delicious fruit. Of my eye, do I have an apple in my eye? What? Well, if you look at somebody's

eye, well, their eyes, you will see that there's a sparkle, a shine.

There's a part of the eye that's really sparkly, like the sun.

And when somebody's happy, if you watch like a cartoon or some manga,

you will see the person's eye shine, like a star.

That's when the person's happy.

So if they see somebody or something that makes them happy, their eyes sparkle.

And that sparkle is also called an apple.

Well, there's actually a big story about the origin of this expression,

You are the happiest thing in my life. Let's check out a dialogue.
