Molly Ringwald the Happy Torturer of Cats and Mice

There is a Molly Ringwald in this world who is not the same person as the actress Molly.  I have met her in college and she smiles brightly when the cameras pass her by.  I thought she was my soul mate for a moment but then I realized I was just interested in girls with red hair (she had red hair just like Molly Ringwald).  So if you meet Molly the woman I have here described, be careful.  She likes to taunt her cats with little rodent dolls and then she likes to throw the mice in her walls a carefully placed bone that smells like rotting wood.   So if Molly is a good girl, maybe she will be a popular talk show host some day.  She did say she likes to be on the camera and that she likes to dance in the downtown stores.  But that said, she is not the most benevolent of persons.  She likes to dance completely dressed (not naked of course) in the balcony of the Ford Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.  Molly reasons that the theatre is a nice place and that if Abe really had lived, he would have been dancing there too.  So it makes sense at a certain level, but I am still remorseful and just don't like to see horror shows when I visit a nice theatre that has historical value.
So Sally, I am waiting for your phone call one day.  Did you get that red sports car that makes your red hair look so orange?  I bet you did.  But that said, I think you are really a cool kid and I will never make fun of your red sports car or your orange minivan.   Thanks.
