Adam Growe (Just For Laughs, Comedy Now!) plays a guy who
goes to inform a class of expectant parents that their prenatal teacher, his
wife, is running late. The class takes place at one of those parenting resource
centres where people pretend it's possible to prepare for parenthood. Adam
figures he'll have no problem “lecturetaining” for a few minutes. He shares
funny quips about the adventures of fatherhood, expecting to soon be relieved
of his duties. It becomes apparent, however, that his wife's arrival is not
imminent. So, because he's suffering from parental insanity, because he's
feeling the pressure and because he has secretly wanted a chance to, Adam
decides to teach the class. Eventually he abandons the lesson plan and begins
to impart his own unsubstantiated philosophies from the pulpit of parenting
pedagogy. Everyone is surprised by what Adam delivers. “Very funny guy” –Dr.
