Viola looks like 'Little Debbie."

Once when we were living in Chicago Viola told me that she liked Marilyn Monroe and she used to like and once was "Shirley Temple." And she was going to be Marylin Monroe someday. She wasn't impressed with my plan to be the Ivan Albright sculptor.

Once when we moved back to Polo a boy started teasing her by saying, "Hey, it's Little Debbie!" and continued with other comments that used this uncanny similarity as its' origin.

Viola thought it was a suitable component to allow into her self image and began saying that she used to look like Little Debbie herself.

My personal opinion is that there was never much more than a casual resemblance. They share a hair color and style. But Little Debbie somehow finds the sublime plane of beauty where Viola is often grotesque.
