stuff.

week was a real hodgepodge of the stuff I

had in my fridge.

Next is “shenanigans”.
“Shenanigans”, I like this word a lot.

the my plan your family or your friends that

are just a little bit mischievous, not necessarily
evil but just kind of tricky, or just to be

a little bit funny to play a joke on someone.

or something like that.

The next word is “skedaddle”.
“Skedaddle” is a good word, it means to
