The Talk

There comes a time in every parent's life when the harsh reality hits -- their child is growing up.

“There comes a time in every parent's life when the harsh reality hits -- their child is growing up. And with that realization comes an event, a moment, faced with fear and trepidation, when said parent takes time from their busy day to have a special chat with their child, a talk if you will. And as with all parenting moments when dads are in charge, it goes horribly, horribly wrong. The comedic slice-of-life short THE TALK is about such a parenting moment mishap.”
