They say "you can't have your cake and eat it, too", but here's the thing...
I don't think I've ever had a cake and not eaten it. I mean, I didn't even know having your cake and not eating it was a thing.
Why would you go through all the trouble of acquiring cake only to let it sit uneaten? That's not only crazy — unless it's fruitcake *shudder* — it's wasteful.
If you ever get cake, I better not catch you throwing it away. Not on my watch, buster. Not when I would be perfectly happy to eat your cake for you.
That way you could totally have your cake and let me eat it.
I won't tell anyone. I promise.
