Therefore, anytime I hear the word shenanigans, it sticks with me. One of my top three favorite movies is without doubt Super Troopers.

warmth of her Mother’s eyes and how different they were from the sadness around her, but at her age how would she know. Her Mother’s speech was fancy, at least it always seemed that way for it was perfect in the respect that it was academic, rehearsed and words of the past.
