I never understood the point of the phrase have your cake and eat it too. Why in the world would I have a cake that I couldn’t eat? I want my cake to eat and then I want to eat yours. There. I said it.

You can no has my cake. I destroys I. K thx bail.
Haha, seriously!
I was thinking about that phrase not too long ago, and it really is stupid. I mean really, how many people cut themselves a piece of cake just to stare at it.
Yes, I wonder how many people are going to feel the need to explain the phrase to me. I am waiting to see
Thank you, Becca, for liking my post on what direct democracy might be. I too eat cake when I have cake.
You’re welcome. Thanks for visiting.
ater you’ve eaten your cake, you no longer have it to eat. wouldn’t it be nice to have it both ways…that’s what it means, and if you don’t like my explanation, bite me.
Lol I know….that is why I take your cake.
I love your blog. Thank you for writing!!!
Thanks Tyler. Keep coming back!
Hee Hee Hee mmmm cake!!!
I was hoping I would start getting cakes in the mail now.
Could totally make that happen!
That would be wonderful!
Becca you cannot have my cake
but then again I might share it with
you if you are good for a change
Nooooooooo strike that, naughty is
lol
always much better, well for me it is
that’s for sure
Androgoth XXx
I don’t like to share. I am stingy.
All your cake is belong to us
And we will eat them with enthusiasm
Nope I am the cake thief.
I never thought about that way before but yeah, this is sort of a stupid saying!
My entire blog is about getting you think in a new way.
Sorry to come over all scientific Becca, but in the many universes interpretation of quantum mechanics (cometimes known as the Multiverse) you can indeed have your cake and eat it, and an infinite number of other possibilities as well. Anything you can think of and many, many more that you can’t conceive. Whatever can be done with or without a piece of cake – it’s happening somewhere – and you’re doing it.
No doubt some of the infinite Beccas knew all that and were just teasing their audience, some didn’t know and some sort of knew but couldn’t quite explain it and others…
You sound like a Tralfamadorian.
I think all the infinite Becca’s love to tease their audience.
You can HAVE YOUR cake but you keepa your mitts offa mine girlie!!!
I will take it when you’re not looking.
Actually, the correct phrase is ‘eat your cake and have it too.’ If you read it that way, it makes sense, since you can’t have it if you’ve already eaten it, right?
I have never once heard people say it that way Charlie. You can if you steal someone else’s.
I don’t see the point, either. I think the point is that once you eat the cake, it’s gone, but that’s not even always true. Many times I’ve seen my dog eat something, vomit it, and then eat it again.
See you get me Jeremy.
Very funny. k.
Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you keep coming back.

Well if I eat it, I still have it, in a way – at least for a while. It would be cheesecake. I suppose you don’t like cheesecake, you choco-hater. But does cheesecake really count as cake anyway? It’s like a cake/pie hybrid. I’m sure you have an opinion on this, and of course, it’s the correct opinion to have.
It is a hybrid but still very good. Cake has frosting, otherwise it is just a sweet treat.
I don’t understand that saying either. If I had to choose whether to have it or eat it, I’d choose to eat the cake any day. I’m sure I could outrun the cake’s rightful owner
See I knew I like ya.
It’s good this saying refers to cake, and not pie. Because I always want to eat pie.

LOL My daughter loves pie, me, only pecan really. You and your list of videos.
As long as it’s REAL pecan pie. But pie is best served warm and bubbling with juices.
Hello! Happy new week!
you too.
It’s a reference to you can’t have the best of both worlds. meaning you cannot enjoy the view of the cake in its entirety and eat it without destroying its original form.
a poor attempt at proverbs in the 1500′s
lol I know there are a ton of comments to read through but I was teasing. I know what it means but that is why I will take my cake and eat it and then take yours.
Okay when.I check.that little box to send.me emails of a reply, than confirm the email that I want to hear replies, it doesn’t work.
but otherwise, you’re more than welcome to attempt a flight over for a piece of my cake.
Very strange. I wonder why it isn’t working. I will tell them.
you had fucking cake and didnt me offer any? what am I invisible. you f’ing bitch. fine, dont give me cake. ill just sit here and be quiet now
You need to be quiet. I will give you cake when you beg.
you make an excellent point!
Thank you very much. I tell people all the time that I am always right. It take a brilliant person to see it. That means you must be brilliant.
I recently had an interesting fling with a girl who wanted to be emotionally involved but stopped talking with me when I got upset due to us not actually being in a relationship. This is a perfect example of having your cake and eating it too.
Hey don’t bring your common sense arguments into this discussion. Just because you know what you’re talking about doesn’t make you right.
Really that had to be frustrating.
Just keep your cake, and they cake of others, out of NYC before you get it banned for everyone.
What banning cake? Who would do such a thing?
If you don’t eat your cake, you can’t have your pudding. Or something like that. I’m with you!
See great minds and all.
You can eat mine any time, it’s all yours
Awww thank you. You’re my new favorite person.
Hope you come back soon.

Becca
You’re very welcome
My favorite saying is: IF YOU BREAK THE EGG, YOU DON’T GET THE CHICKEN
Of course I want to have my cake and eat it… What else would I do with my fucking cake?!
Thanks you. I am glad I am not the only one that thinks this.

Becca
