"Molly Goldberg" is a rather funny nickname for a young girl. Even funnier, is neither Ree, Mardukis, BazzukaJoe or I can provide an explanation or an origin for the name. Such names and offbeat sayings were all part of Betty's charm...and its the Mastandrea instinct to accept, rather than question. We questioned the nickname no more than we question why Big Vin's christmas lights must be perfectly symmetrical. The fact that we never need an explanation is part of what makes this family great.
Some other Betty-isms:
1. "Listen, listen the cat's pissin'. Where where, under the chair..."
2. (holds up all five fingers) "Hey, Steve you know what this is?" (flips up her middle finger) "Its a week supply of these"
3. "I lie alot"
4. "What are you worrying about...my bills? Don't worry I paid them"
5. "You know what Thought did...Thought thought he farted but he shit his pants"
6. Hey Grandma, why you makin' that face? "Its the only one I got"

This is another list that truly go on forever, I just love talkin about Betty...I think about her all the time. So feel free to add on to this list as well. I also want to openly compliment Peech un'Molly on not only her impressive memory, but more importantly her Mastandrea-ish acceptance of Betty's name. John will always say it takes a special breed of outsider to flourish in this family...your stock is going up, Number 2.
