[quote=Anonymous]You need to go in with a plan. Go see movies with them. Watch movies on Netflix. Take your mom clothing shopping. Tell them about old friends from your schooldays that you've kept in touch with. "Hey Mom, remember Natasha? She moved to Australia!" Then you can talk about Australia. Ask your dad how to fix your vacuum cleaner. Or garbage disposal. Or change the oil in your car! Was he in the Army? I have found any old person, whether or not they liked their time there, always has tons of stories about their time in the military. Come up with three things you can say about work. "I work right near a great pho place, I've been using that fancy pen you gave me 12 years ago at work every day, my boss likes that obscure whatever that you also like." Then just stick to those things. [/quote]
