    Me raving about why people ask you how are if they don’t want an answer 🙃

    Also if I have a cake, I’m going to eat it too. If I can’t have my cake AND eat it too I don’t want a damn cake! 🎂 I always just think of a kid sadly watching their cake knowing they’re not allowed to eat it 😭😭😭😅

      You can’t eat your cake and have it too. They just flip the saying because it sound better the other way around. But the core idea is that once you eat the cake it’s gone; a cake is both a decoration and a dessert, but the utility of one destroys the other.
