Summary

Dear Pennies and Pallers,

We’re back with guest host and Pal Kyle Ayers! In today’s letter Laura asks if we had any obsessive tendencies as a kid that we still carry today. We also talk about the 4th of July boat parade in Lake Tapawingo, tattoos, co-opting rich kid’s hobbies, and more! 

We wish you well, sincerely, 
Your Pen Pals, Daniel Van Kirk and Kyle Ayers
