I'm really asking! Which one do I use now? God forbid I eat a thick soup with the bouillon spoon or something reserved for thin broths-help me out!"Dolores is spunky."I want to be a Central cheerleader because I like to make people scream!"Dolores is tough.She was terrified; she was furious. She let her anger burn her fear. She punched him smack in the nose as hard as she could.Shockingly beautiful, quirky, sarcastic, brave, and elusive, Dolores is always, quite simply,Dolores.
