Hey all - I’m looking for an old fashioned pen pal for my 7 Y.O daughter. Growing up, I remember the fun of sending and receiving letters (yeah - the obligatory “get off of my lawn” here 😃 ) Have been going through some online penpal sites, but really not liking the vibe I get from them - anybody here with a similar aged kid that would love to exchange old fashioned letters? (boy or girl don’t matter) Let me know yeah? ---

Well, what kind of stuff is she into? I mean I’m _40_ but I’m into Justin Bieber and assorted “where are you going with your life” things and think I have perspective to offer. I would love to talk with her, in a friendly, completely non-creepy way. Mail or online. I could see where that would put you off though, and I respect that. ---

I know a ten y/o boy who might be interested. What part of the country (or what country) is she in?
