Meeting Diego

 


This is Diego Dominguez. 
Diego

Diego is a 13 year old whose family moved to the States from
Venezuela. He is fairly bright and friendly but because of a freak breast feeding accident he has developed what is commonly called “Bilingual Illiteracy.” In other words, he struggles with both of his languages, Spanish and English. This causes him problems when trying to communicate via the written word.

 

He is also afflicted, as many young boys are, with some, how can we say, physical limitations. Whether this was caused by lack of oxygen during the “accident” or just the fact he has never had a stable home life, Diego has some issues he deals with on a daily basis. The main ones seem to be incontinence and an uncontrolled preoccupation with the children’s cartoon hero “Dora The Explorer”. Other than these quirks in his nature, Diego is a kind, thoughtful child who is desperate to make a friend with Kaleb Anderson who lives in Phoenix. Diego had attended a Summer Adventure Camp with Kaleb’s brother Jacob a couple of years before. It is this connection he used to reach out to Kaleb in a series of emails that have since become the classic tale of friendship.

 

Following are the actual emails that were exchanged between Diego and Kaleb. They are listed in sequential order. Here is the first installment of the six part series: The Diego Chronicles......

Hello,

I know you will be able to come here to visit someday.

Where are you moving to? I have never been on a plane before. What is it like?

I think you remember my brother from the camping trip at school. His name is Jacob. I also have a brother named Ben. And I have two younger brothers. Their names are Joey and Josh.

I like frogs too!! But my favorite animal is the fox. But I also like wolves.

I like a lot of animals.

It is sometimes very hot here. But it is starting to cool down outside, and the weather is getting nice.

Hope to see you sometime soon,

Kaleb

 Hello Deigo,

 When are you coming here? I don’t have a sister Benita, but I have a brother Ben. Do you have a brother or sister?

I don’t have a trampoline spider, I have a trampoline that you jump on and fly up on. Not to the sky, and you don’t really fly but you go high.

I don’t have any wolves, but they are my favorite animal. My dogs name is Jack.

The weather is getting nice outside here. It rained today and it’s going to rain tomorrow.

What does arriba soy capitan mean? There are stars in the sky here. There are a lot sometimes.

 I wish you luck to not get rash on the ride here.

Jack won’t bite you, he is nice.

 I will see you soon friend deigo,

Kaleb

Hello Deigo.

Ryan?
I think I might know who you are talking about, but I have never seen him. I don’t have
rash on my feet but my toe hurts and I had to lay in my bed today. You can wash your hair while
you are at my house if you like.

I got your gift today! Cool! Deigo dominoes! Maybe we can play with them at my house. Thank you.

I was at a store called Cabelas a few days ago and I found fake fox and wolfs! I can show you
the pictures I took. I will send them to you in a while.

Hi Deigo,

I’m sorry I was not at my house. I was at a cabin in the mountains and I was not home.
It was not jack that was dead in street, it might have been another dog or wolf.
I can see you in the summer I will be here. Cool! We can play sometimes and have
sleep overs at nights. I don’t have rash on my toe any more it went gone.

I use shovel to scratch it not fork. You see my house over fence? You can mail the hair
rug whenever you want.

Your friend,

I have had Jack since last year. I told you that I have no wolf Jack, but I have a dog Jack.

Wolves are just my favorite animal.

 

I go to Apache Elementary for school, you went there before with my brother Jacob, I think.

People are nice to me at school, and I am sure they will be nice to you. I like gravy too.

I never had a wolf Jack. I just said they are my favorite animal.

 

I do have a dog Jack. When do you get here in Arizona? I hope your rash gets better. You met a girl? That is nice. What was her name?

 

Jacob still lives with me and he said he would play Dora with us. You will be Diego, I can be Swiper. I don’t know who Jacob will be. I don’t have a rash and I am doing good. You can give whatever you want to that girl.

 

See you soon,

Hello Diego, 

 

You have bugs in your hair? That’s not good. I got the mask you sent me.

I hope bugs are gone when you get here. I am happy to see you in a few days.

I don’t think they sell fox sandwiches here. But they do sell meat ones.

I have an extra mattress for you to sleep on, you will like it.

 

See you,

 

Kaleb

Frind Caleb
 
Like Sid Finch and Captain Tuttle, I must go now. You were good Crispy Hopper to Diego and I am sure Diego will live on. Unlike poor Wolve Jack who continues to die and come back to life.
 
Next time you sit with family and eat dinner of fox and elf think of Diego. When vomit comes in mouth and you make urine in movie think of Diego. Soy capitan!
 
If you can put up with Diego there is nobody who will be able to bother you in the future. As Porkins would say "I can hold it!"
 
So be good, remember the Frind who is Diego, Sookie, Uncle Nat, his brother in the ground and Aunt Merg. As Diego said long time ago: Mis labios han comadreja!!!. Or in English: My lips are weasels!!
 
Hasta
 
Diego Lives!!

Here are things you didn't get the chance to know about me:
 
1. I eat tacos with a fork.
2. I was fat in grade school. The wake of that horror has yet to subside.
3. I am afraid of old people.
4. I have been pooped on by a monkey.
5. I am addicted to the ass-slap dance move. Sometimes I don't even notice I'm doing it.
6. When I finally told my girlfriend that I liked her (as in, liked her liked her), I gave her 
the Porkins line, "I can hold it." She had no idea what it was.
7. Just because I realize that Asian women are smarter, more attractive, and have about 
themselves a generally superior level of class does not mean I have a fetish. 
8. I eat gummy bears by tearing them limb from limb and eating their heads last.
9. I can't grow hair on my arms.
10. Two of my best friends are under five feet tall and I have an intense fear of midgets.
11. I think yoga is incredibly spiritual. I know the Lord is with me in my downward dog.
12. I was born with jaundice.
13. I was born pigeon-toed.
14. I was born with an extra kidney. I wish I could have sold it on the black market and made some money, but it was underdeveloped and did nothing but cause me to wet the bed until the third grade.
15. I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur.
16. A horse once fell over while I was riding it.
17. I don't believe in democracy.
18. I cried when Spock died in Star Trek II.
19. I drink two glasses of milk every night before bed.
20. If you asked me to tell you my favorite movie, I would have a hard time not saying The Muppets Take Manhatten.
21. I once sent a teacher into early retirement by pretending to be a cheetah and swiping at her from under a desk.
22. I once ran into a Girl Scout in the lobby of a theater. I told her she was the first girl I 
ever loved. She laughed and kind of smiled. This was the most gratifying moment of my life.
23. My friends say that when they shave my back, I purr like a walrus.
24. I don't understand what people see in the Lord of The Rings trilogy.
25. Sometimes I think pee smells like Cheerios.

Comments:Wanted to thank Kaleb for being so understanding. Diego can be a handful at times, but is a wonderful kid. He hasn't been the same since his mother was deported. He is fine and would love to hear from Kaleb and his family. His email is diego.dom14@hotmail.com. Thanks again, Jane Mergenthaller (Aunt Merg) PS - I could kick him for using my Senior Portrait!
