    The party was so bedlam that some people had to go outside to have a quiet moment.

      Hey Elise, you almost got it! Remember the word is a noun and change your sentence slightly.

    Mr.Kock I noticed in the Weslandia book 0n 2:20 it uses bedlam in a sentence: You'll have mighty bedlam on your hands if you don't take care of those weeds!

      Hi Helena. Not quite. There is one little word in your sentence messing it up since "bedlam" is what is called a "no count" noun.

    The OU vs. OSU crowd was so bedlam when OU got a fumble recovery, and ran it in for a touchdown on the last play. Shannon Spake asks wide receiver Jalen Saunders, "How do you feel about catching that touchdown in this bedlam to seal the deal, and then have that fumble recovery touchdown?"

    P.S. OU WON 33-24 OVER OSU!!!
