26 Funny ‘Et Tu, Brute?’ Moments
Thousands of years ago, some guy was jumped by a bunch of senators and got stabbed to death by his best friend. Thankfully, Shakespeare wrote a play about it, so we have the perfect way to describe an unexpected betrayal. Latin might be a dead language, but the question et tu, Brutè? is alive and well.
One Redditor shared a brutal moment that had him uttering the phrase. He had his eyes on a big hunk of chocolate cake that his wife had left in the fridge, but he knew he didn’t have the guts to tackle it alone. And so, he decided to cut his son in on the action, offering him half of the cake, which would make them both complicit in the sweet crime. What he didn’t expect was his child immediately ratting him out when mom got home, saying, “Daddy ate your cake and gave me some to not tell you!”
Other Redditors have offered up the ways their closest companions blindsided them, including tales of Monopoly sabotage, a pair of picky eaters and cannibalism at the Model U.N.
