This one was my absolute
favorite in this album!!! I loved the parts with Penny and
her studying people's (especially Wooton, ha, ha) body
language. I also thought what Connie said was good and
corresponds with that verse so well. Lately Connie has been
acting more immature (such as when she blackmailed Eugene
into giving Penny a job), but I was pleasantly surprised at
how mature she was in this episode. I hope that Wooton will
work up his courage in the next album to tell Penny about
his "feelings". So anyway, great job AIO!

I surprisingly actually liked
this, despite Penny being in it.

I have to say that while I
don't think the last two Penny episodes were awful, I wasn't
entirely in love with them. Both of them had good ideas, but
I believe they failed in some aspects of their execution.
This one is similar in that I think there are several ways
it could have been better. The episode is essentially about
trust, and I'm not sure it was entirely clear in its use of
the verse about childish things (1 Corinthians 13:11). Also,
Penny seems unreasonably obstinate and even arrogant in her
continued refusal to accept Connie's advice -- and she even
throws her own statement that she shouldn't rely solely on
body language out the window, choosing to focus entirely on
it, though she hasn't even finished reading her book on the
subject. Also, it would have been nice if she could have
tried some other "quick method" of determining trust in the
episode, instead of just the body language. I expected some
sort of deal where she would go through two or three
different "solutions" to her problem, and I was slightly
disappointed.
However, in spite of those flaws, it was still overall
well-done; a notably better episode than Penny's last two
adventures. Wooton was pretty good in this episode -- not
his best, but a lot more three-dimensional and
better-characterized than he's been, well, since he first
met Penny. Also, I think Penny, whatever her faults,
has helped bring
out all of the mature points in Connie's character again,
which is a definite plus. Mr. Henri is turning out to be a
very likable minor character, in the same sense as Mr.
Holstein.

I enjoyed this episode. It was
humorous, yet it taught a valuable lesson. I will give
"Childish Things" four stars out of five.
