Today’s word of the day is chicanery. Chicanery means “Trickery; deceitfulness;” Way back before Thanksgiving, Dawson and Tiffany were stuck in a cave. Let’s see what’s happening with them now. “As Tiffany and Dawson dealt with monsters of the future, T.J. continued to wonder where her sister was. And Pete was deciding whether he should engage in chicanery to get Carlos booted from the football team.” Sounds like a Soap Opera. Tune in tomorrow to see what Peter has planned for Carlos.

Today’s SAT word of the day is contusion. Contusion means “a bruise; or an injury in which the skin is not broken”. Let’s continue our story. Yesterday Tiffany and Dawson, sometime in the future, were running through a cave with iridescent walls. Let’s see if they make it out of the cave. “Dawson glanced back behind him and saw what looked like a gigantic bird. As he turned back to look ahead, his forehead slammed into a low-hanging portion of the roof of the cave. Grasping his head but feeling no blood, Dawson realized that his forehead would show the nasty results of a bad contusion.” Is Dawson knocked out? Will Tiffany leave him behind? We’ll find out tomorrow.
