What's the dealio?
1 more example
Let's jump ahead to the science fair. You should know we scraped the tornado-in-a-bottle dealio. We started playing with it, but the “tornado” just looked like a lot of stuff being swirled together, like we were making chocolate milk with glitter and water instead of, you know, chocolate and milk.
