You know that moment, it’s right between the mashed potatoes and the second serving of stuffing…
there is a lull…
that pause in conversation…
all you can hear is the scraping of forks against the plates…
you can feel it…
the talk is about to turn to either politics or
religion or
why you don’t have a job or
why you have a tattoo or
why you felt you needed MORE sweet potatoes…

and you just have to stop it!

Think! Think!
What to say???

Well, we’ve got you:
