My wife told me this. What else are you supposed to do with it?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA that is so funny! I have heard that expression, but never really thought about it. That totally makes no sense!

That saying is confusing. What it means is, "You can't *keep* your cake and eat it too." In other words, if you eat it, it's gone, and therefore you can no longer have it. I didn't understand the meaning of that saying for, like, ever. What it boils down to, though, is that you can't use/consume something and then also still have it. Seems academic.

I have heard this one for many years. It makes sense to me in many situations. One of them is cheating on your spouse and you get caught. Having your cake and eating it too in this situation means that you can't have both women, you have to choose which one you want--or else your partner will do it for you.
In other cases, such as not cheating but just having fun with your partner, you can have both.

Shouldn't the saying be, "You can't eat your cake and have it too?"

that sounds funny to me because I have to learn slang so since I don't know exactly the meaning then can you share the cake?
Oh, I see it is a saying.

go on a diet... determine if what you have is what you want.
If that answer is yes.. then keep your current garage.. if the answer is no, park your snake in the other garage. but she deserves a truthful man.
stand tall and do the right thing... you cant mess with folks... karma will, as karma does...

because you either have the cake forever, or eat it, there is only one cake.

Look at it, drool over it, but no licking or eating. That's what I've heard.
