		<description><![CDATA[My kids aren&#8217;t in school yet, but it&#8217;s bound to happen before long. I am the lunch-note writing type and often add a note to my husband&#8217;s napkin so I know I&#8217;ll want to include something special for my kids when they head off to school. I absolutely love the idea of PenPal Notes. They&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

No matter what, if any, higher power you believe in, you just can&#8217;t (or shouldn&#8217;t) blindly and moronically ignore science.

A &#8220;Readee&#8221; is a mini-video, typically about a minute long. Many feature the animated duo of Julian and Isabel Waters, an upbeat inventor-dad and his sweet, articulate daughter.
