Daine Bennet Dusky

he has an incredible mind, and I secretly think he picked me to be his mother before he was born.
It's my job to encourage that mind, so I read him novels, and science books and have taught him all I know... not a lot in that department.
He is seven years old and one of the most interesting people I have ever met.

YEAH I am on Santa's bad list... and it explains a lot.


Daine refused to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree downtown Boise.
He cried...
I said " do you miss Brookings?"
he nodded.
He has lived his whole life in Brookings and every year we go to the light festival, his sister and I have always taken him.
I told him, we will make new traditions in Idaho, don't worry baby.
This year we are enjoying our poverty, but Christmas always brings miracles.
I asked the boy if he could have anything he wanted what would he wish for.
He said, he would like a computer.
Hidden in my closet is a nearly new refurbished computer given to me by a friend... what strange coincidence?
We celebrate on Christmas Eve.
I will set that computer up and have it ready to roll when he discovers it on his desk with a red ribbon and a note from Santa.
He has been a good boy, but even if he had not, Santa would be generous, because this child is much loved and cherished.
Glena Jean... the bad elf.
