Stage 1- You wake up and drag yourself out of bed and look in the mirror and OMG you have a ZIT !

Stage 2- You start to panic as you think of what the next person is going to think as they are talking to you with this HUGE thing on your forehead that resembles a festering volcano ready to erupt any minute.

Stage 3- You shakily knock over prescription medications in the medicine cabinet looking for something to make it GO AWAY or evaporate it, maybe morph it out or something, ANYTHING.

Stage 4- You give up on finding a medication and look at it in the mirror, the thought occurs to you to PICK it.

Stage 5- You start picking it and it gets redder and bigger. Your panics turn into dread and fear. Your mind is racing and you feel faint.

Stage 6- You start the squeezing process. You squeeze and squeeze it ignoring the wrenching pain streaking through your eyeballs and the back of your head.

Stage 7- It finally pops and juice and other things you have no clue as to what they are... squirt all over your Moms new medicine cabinet mirror. (Leave it there, she will clean it up later, you have problems of bigger proportions)

Stage 8- It is bleeding, this is good because you can handle blood better than a volcano. You run to your Mom and tell her you have a serious wound that needs attention from her RIGHT NOW.

Stage9- Mom seems to understand and reaches inside a HIDDEN compartment in her purse and takes out some proactive.

Stage 10- 2 weeks later and you don't even remember the trauma of the day.
