[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband’s trick to get someone off a topic is to get them reminiscing. (He’s a super nostalgic person.). So if his mom starts talking about Trump, he’ll segue to, “do you remember the hardware store in town when we were kids? Did they used to give out popcorn? Did we play with the owners’ kids?” And then he’ll move on to, “I was trying to remember that driving trip we took to florida—did we have the station wagon, and how did we all fit?” Sometimes he’ll do more general nostalgia topics like “didn’t gum used to come in different flavors, like licorice?” Or he loves to ask about how certain products/stores got their names. Now, as someone who didn’t grow up where he did, and is less interested in his family’s minutia, I sometimes find these conversations boring. But still better than Trump or Coronavirus.
