You Can’t Eat Your Cake

 

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too, basically means “you cannot have it both ways.”

If you have a choice between two things you have to choose one. In other words, “ you have to eat the cake or have it.”

On Chuck and my first wedding anniversary we were out of town so we did not eat the top of our wedding cake. Almost thirty-eight years later that cake stop sits in our freezer. It has moved with us six different times. 

At this point we’re afraid that it might jinx us if we get rid of it! So we made the choice to keep the cake, not eat it. 

Teaching children that often times you can’t have it both ways is a real life lesson, albeit a difficult one at times.
