'Sorry we thought you did meth,' apologetic mom writes on cake
Sometimes, the best way to say you're sorry is with a pound of saturated fat.
In 2012, high school student Rachel Glemis willingly took a drug test at her Alabama school. While Glemis wasn't on any drugs at the time (besides those she had been prescribed), the test concluded that she had heroin, meth, and cocaine in her system. Glemis' mom accused her of abusing drugs -- before discovering that the school had made a big, bad mistake.
"When the test came back, they completely misread it, and read the indicator for a drug being negative as positive," Glemis told Mashable in an email. "So they assumed I had tested positive for everything mentioned."

Glemis' mother initially accused her daughter of doing the drugs listed, and began to research rehabs for her. A few hours later, the school called the family to explain their error -- and Glemis' mother asked her daughter if there was anything she could do to make up for it.
So Glemis asked her mom to make her a cake, not expecting much.
But instead of a buttercream rose or a cream cheese layer, she got a beautiful heroin joke, a hilarious cocaine one and a statement of regret.
This, people, is how an apology is done.
Though the incident happened close to four years ago, Glemis just recently tweeted about the event.
"Everyone seems to think the cake is hilarious. Everyone in my family thought it was delicious," Glemis told Mashable in an email.
Dear Glemis' mom: If we don't snort coke, will you make us a cake too?
