You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat It Too

I was holding up in line at the supermarket tending to my very own concerns, or, in other words time work nowadays. I have buckled down throughout the years to ace this "tending to my very own concerns." I have not been everything that fruitful, but rather despite everything I attempt.

As I was remaining in line I heard the lady behind me say, "Johnny, you can't have it both ways."

I didn't know the foundation story since I didn't hear the entire discussion. When I heard that my brain took me back to those exciting long stretches of yesteryear when my folks, them two dependent on this expression, said to me, "You can't have it both ways."

I can't recollect the reasons that this expression kept springing up in my folks' discussion. Be that as it may, I never could make sense of what on the planet they were discussing.

As the years progressed, I have seen individuals say things they have no clue what they are stating or what it even means. At times individuals will state some odd expression or a statement with the end goal to convey the discussion to a stop.

My folks were not intrigued, especially when we were out in the open, for me to convey the discussion. Commonly, they would close me down with the goal that I would not humiliate them.

Likewise, I never could make sense of why someone on the stage would be urged to "break their leg." It is a somewhat mean thing to say to somebody who is in regards to go out in front of an audience and do some sort of execution? What mean individual would trust that somebody would break their leg before a group of people?

Somebody said to me as of late, "May the power be with you." I knew the motion picture he was citing from yet I had no clue what he implied for me. What is the power he needed to be with me? In addition, imagine a scenario in which I didn't need that power to be with me.

We regularly say things we don't comprehend or mean and I am as liable as any other person.

When something disastrous happens some religious disapproved of individual will state, especially somebody on TV, "My considerations and supplications are with you."

What on the planet does that mean? What musings do they have, what petitions do they have, and how on the planet would they be able to exchange it to me? Normally the individual saying this is somebody who isn't extremely religious.

I don't comprehend what came over me, yet once someone, I overlook the circumstance, stated, "My considerations and supplications are with you." For the life of me, I don't recognize what I was thinking about, however out of the blue, I heard myself saying to that individual, "Thanks yet I needn't bother with your petitions."

Why I said that I don't have the foggiest idea, yet I do realize that the individual that said it to me was in regards to as religious as a dead cockroach. In the event that you don't ask all the time, for what reason do I need your supplications?

Be that as it may, back to my long stretches of youth. I can't recollect how often my folks, both similarly as liable as the other, said to me, "You can't have it both ways."

I am still as befuddled today as I was at that point. In the event that I have my cake, why on the planet wouldn't i be able to eat it? All things considered, it's my cake. On the off chance that it wasn't my cake, I don't figure I would eat it.

Nonetheless, the most aggravating thing was at whatever point my folks disclosed to me that there was no cake in view. For instance, the young man remaining in the line behind me had no cake at the forefront of his thoughts when his mom revealed to him that.

When my folks said that to me, I stated, "What cake?"

My mom took a gander at me and stated, "On the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea, I'm certain I can't let you know."

Presently I was extremely befuddled. She is discussing a cake however she can't reveal to me what cake it is. Her suspicion is that I think about the cake she is discussing when actually, I have no clue about the cake she is discussing. I have no qualms about eating my cake, yet I jump at the chance to know where it is at.

My dad endeavored to disclose to me one time by saying, "When you eat the cake, it's never again yours."

Where are guardians prepared to be guardians? In the event that I eat the cake, whose cake is it? Truth be told, in the event that I don't eat the cake there is a peril that another person may eat my cake and I beyond any doubt don't need that to occur.

I think the most exasperating time in a man's life is the point at which they wind up talking like their folks. I particularly recollect the time when my children needed to accomplish something and I reacted by saying, "You can't have it both ways."

Saying things that we don't exactly see regularly gets us into trouble especially with family. I think about whether the witness Paul had this at the top of the priority list when he states, "Let no degenerate correspondence continue out of your mouth, yet that which regards the utilization of illuminating, that it might serve beauty unto the listeners" (Ephesians 4:29).
