When Michelle was in elementary school, she had a pen pal, and for a while, their relationship existed only through letters.

But then, Michelle met her pen pal in person.

He had a great build, a sexy voice, and he had a smile that could melt, well, the hardest thing to melt in the world.

He was so good looking. And he was puberized.

That's Michelle, clearly smitten with her elementary school pen pal.

I'm Dan Meisner, and this?

This is grown-ups read things they wrote as kids.

How are you doing?

It is so nice to see you.

This is a show where we go back in time to remember the good, the bad, and the awkward parts of growing up.

This week recorded live in Ottawa, we have an illustrated poem about a whale, a cautionary tale about agricultural entrepreneurship, and a Star Trek parody where all of the characters are cats.

This stuff is weird, it is wonderful,

and like a cute pen pal,

it's worth keeping in touch with.

So think about who you were when you were a kid,

and stick around.

A minute ago, we heard from Michelle, who had a bit of a crush on her childhood pen pal.

But that wasn't the only thing she wrote about in her journal. At our Ottawa show, Michelle shared a few more entries about 90s boy bands, movies, and a well-known Canadian actor.

A quick heads up, Michelle uses a cuss word in her diary, which we do not bleep.

Here's Michelle.

So this is just before New Year's.

Heidi Ho, I hope this entry does find you well.
