Styled loosely in the form of a dramatic, public service announcement skit, this short movie about a child having a conversation with his teenage brother in a busy diner has a message which stresses how it is no less possible for a preteen child to have a crush on somebody of the same sex as for a preteen child to have a crush on somebody of the opposite sex, while positing that a human being tends to have had a sexual orientation ever since for as far back at least as he or she can remember, regardless of what that orientation may be.

The first virtue – delicate, nuanced and wise exploration of a delicate subject . Second- the comfortable – provocative atmosphere. Not the last- the beautiful job of Tyler Kelley. Short, a nice short film about brotherhood, a too clever 9 years ( almost 10 ) old boy and a nice waitriss. Not remarkable but fair milkshake for many viewers.
