"It stands for Dora Winifred."
Dora Winifred, better known as D.W., was one of my favorite cartoon characters growing up. Admittedly, she is my favorite heavily due to the fact that she makes her older brother, Arthur, miserable, as I do the same for my older sisters on occasion. Her cute exterior combined with her devilish qualities make her quite the character. Although at times the four year old may have come across as a little harsh, her sass never failed to make me laugh. Here are some of D.W's most unforgettable quotes that will live on in our memory, long after "Arthur" reruns have gone off the air (Heaven forbid that ever happens).
1. She Used Guilt
Just a friendly reminder for anyone out there who ever deals with a D.W. in their travels. Don't F up! She will remember any time that you ever disappointed her and will not let you live it down, unless of course you bring her, "vanilla ice-cream with vanilla sprinkles and vanilla sauce -- heavy on the sauce." If you ever disappoint her, prepare yourself for a guilty conscience.
2. Her Words Were Cold
I think we all can remember the time D.W. roasted Francine like a wiener. To be honest, I applauded her for this, because I thought Francine was a little obnoxious.
3. She Was Pompous AF
There was also that time where she essentially declared her classmates her peasants and walked around the classroom while wearing a plastic crown and holding a plastic purse throwing money. Raising a 4-year-old's allowance to "a gazillion dollars" (A.K.A. $10) is the first step in the "How to cause your 4-year-old to become a pompous ass" handbook. C'mon, David and Janet, I thought you would know better than that.
4. She Complained About Everything
And of course there were those times when D.W. had nothing to complain about because let's be real, life for a 4-year-old is a walk in the park, a walk in the park with flowers and rainbows and kittens. So leave it to her to make a fuss of everything sunny and bright.
5. She Sassed Strangers
When she yelled aggressively at people who accused her of being "a baby." D.W., you are not fooling anyone dressing up like Arthur, we all still think you're 4.
6. She Had Savage Responses
At times, she was a little too savage with her blunt responses. Although, with the slim pickings this year, I might feel the same way. #poniesforpresident
7. She Had A Deathly Side Eye
She had a side eye that could make a grown man cry. When she unleashed her side eye, it was essentially the equivalent of revealing a concealed weapon. That look was so sharp it could kill a man.
Sure, it may be undeniable that she was a complete b*tch at times, but we love her anyway. Even if she treated Arthur like a piece of sh*t.
