When Isabella was growing up, she made a picture book.

It was full of words and drawings, and it gave examples of some of the fun things you can do in life.

This girl is taking her dog for a walk.

This girl is playing in the sun.

This girl is jumping on a trampoline.

This girl has a collection of fire ants.

That's Isabella, reading about some common and not so common pastimes.

I'm Dan Meisner, and this?

This is grown-ups read things they wrote as kids. Hello, how are you doing? Boy, oh boy. This is a show where we go back in time to remember the good,

the bad, and the awkward parts of growing up. This time recorded live at Formasuri Elgin in Sudbury, Ontario.

We have love letters set in the future,

an angsty song about a personal pan pizza,

and a mournful diary entry about the death of Napster.

This stuff is weird, it is wonderful,

and like a collection of fire ants, it's worth paying

close attention to.

So think about the stuff you wrote when you were a kid, and stick around.

A minute ago, we heard from Isabella, who shared a short story about a girl who collected fire ants.

But that wasn't the only thing Isabella brought to our Sudbury show.

Next, I have for you the first letter I ever penned.

This must have been in grade one.

So, dear Paolo, please come to my house sometime on the weekend.
