Yep. Kynthia knew that expression well. Her mother could eat a whole apple orchard before you could even blink. Not her daughter though, no. So, everytime she would offer her an apple and she would decline, she'd start with the whole 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Doctor cause they were Muggles.
"Well it means that if you eat healthy you can keep all kinds of diseases away. And that is true. Defenitely. But it is also highly abused by mothers who want their children to eat fruit and vegetables instead of snacks and junk food.." Like those green beans her mother made all the time. Yikes!
