 I had a pen pal 40 years ago. There you go. See? No one sends letters anymore. 40 years ago, pen pal. A pen pal. A pen pal. I did. I had one of those, too. I had a pen pal in Brownsville, Texas, and I had one over in Germany. I had pen pals back in the day. How old were you when you had your pen pal? I was like a sixth grader when I had a pen pal with the girl down in Brownsville, Texas, and then I was in high school when I had a pen pal over in Germany.
