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."
