Pen Pals & "Mental Reservations"

Mena accidentally sent me this clip this morning and I had to share it.  It's about a two classrooms of young students whose teachers originally met as pen pals.  The teachers set up a pen pal program for the students and their reactions are great:

I love the kid who describes what 1991 must have been like.

This is the clip she intended to send: "Are All Babies Really Cute?". 

That's my friend Ben, Mena's husband, and their baby Penelope at about :28 into the clip.  (It's true, Penelope really is that cute.)  At about 1:58 in, Father Kelly says, "there's all the difference between a lie and what they call a mental reservation."  I wish he'd elaborated more on that difference.

Read Mena's post¹ about Penelope's national TV debut.
