Tell Us About Your Talks With Dad

What do you talk to your father about--on an everyday basis, but also on special occasions? Are there certain subjects--beyond sports and that weird noise the car is making--that you don't feel comfortable discussing with anyone but him? For our special Father's Day issue, sons and daughters of all ages are invited to recount some of their favorite conversations with Dad--and to tell us what it is (or was) about him that made those talks so special.

Please send replies by June 6, in 50 words or fewer, to Father's Day, Southern California Living, Los Angeles Times, Times Mirror Square, Los Angeles, CA 90053; e-mail socalliving@latimes.com, or fax (213) 237-0732. Include your name, your age if you're under 21, your hometown and a phone number. Submissions cannot be returned. No phone calls, please.
