The Seven Stages of Wrecks

Remember, my friends: recognizing the stages is the first step to healing.

 

Shock or Disbelief:

"No, seriously. Where's the hidden camera?"

 

Denial:

"That CAN'T be my cake. I ordered a turtle."

 

Anger:

"This is what you call cake decorating?!"

 

"And I'm not paying for that one, either."

Bargaining:

 "Twenty four bucks, huh?

"I'll give you five."

Guilt:

"If ONLY I'd just learned to bake, my daughter wouldn't be in therapy for coulrophobia!"

Depression:

 "I just... I just wanted a nice cake for the party..."

Acceptance and Hope:

"It's fine. I've just got a dirty mind. Maybe no one else will notice."
