Mittens DuBois-Dugan
         
          
            "Tinky Winky showed Po his special dance with the mittens." 
            -- Teletubbies "Mittens" Episode
          
        
        Mittens DuBois-Dugan added Mark Dugan to her family July 24, 1999, 
          right around the same time as the Village's birth. Dugan has been a 
          fixture in Mitten's life for several years. He was her former youth 
          pastor, although Mittens assures us no discretions took place. She credits 
          alphabetical order for bringing the two of them together. 
        
She went to Oklahoma Christian University for a semester, but dropped 
          out to get married to Dugan. "Like several other girls, I just went 
          for my M.R.S. degree," Mittens said of her educational background. She 
          has no further plans to participate in higher education, although she 
          is determined to home-school her future children. They have recently 
          moved away from Oklahoma, and currently delighting in their new church, 
          the Landover Baptist Church. 
        
Instead of accepting traditional literary criticism, Mittens rejects 
          all that is not Christian. She is currently penning a manifesto towards 
          a teen Christian literary approach. 
        
And no, Mittens is not her real name. Her real name is Sarah. She got 
          the name Mittens sixteen years ago. The local newspaper was talking 
          to the members of the Christmas Pagent at her church. When asked what 
          the three wise men brought baby Jesus, she replied "Mittens, because 
          he had cold hands." Her older sister Francine teased her endlessly about 
          it, and the name "Mittens" stuck.
