I struggled with many common idioms as a child. Two I remember being confused by:
You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.
I didn’t understand how it was possible to eat a cake you didn’t have.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
While I thought helping friends was great, I didn’t understand why a friend who was in trouble all the time was a good friend.

People who know you have mentioned your continuing difficult with having your cake and eating it too. I understand though as I think having cake is eating it.
