Prepare: Wear fun/cool (preferably) knee high socks.
Conclusion: The talker might get weirded out and leave or they might love your socks, start talking about how great they are, and forget about the previous conversation.
Warning: People might think you’re slightly bonkers. They might make fun of your socks, too. (We give advice on conversation changers, not fashion.)
What to do: When you want to change the conversation, show people your socks and ask if they like them.
Example:
Carlos: Hey Fred, you should join our political, ethical, and moral discussions.
Fred: Uhh…
Carlos: You really should, I mean…
Jarrah: Hey! Look at my socks! (shows socks) Aren’t they pretty?
Fred: Yeah! Let’s talk about Jarrah’s socks. They’re amazing.
Jarrah: I know, right?
Carlos: Whatever…They are pretty cool socks though.

OMG! So I tried this out on my dad when he was giving me "the talk". I knew it was coming since I just recently got a girlfriend(she denies being my girlfriend to her friends, family and just people in general, but I know that's just because she loves me)so I've been wearing these amazing bright, pick sparkly socks for the past week, waiting for it. And it worked!! As soon as he pulled out the stuffed birds and bees he keeps in his pocket, I showed him my socks and he completely forgot what he was saying. Not only did I get out of talking about the hnd, but my dad gave me $50 to go out and buy better socks!! Fred and Jarrah, you guys rock! Your conversation changers are so simple, but so brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI have decided to be prepared from now on and bought 27 pairs of colorful knee high socks. I now feel like I can conquer any awkward conversation!

ReplyDeleteGURLL U BETTER NOT GO START SOME DRAMA COS U DONT WANNA MESS WITH MEE. YOU DON'T KNOO ME.
Gragalitious -I'm surprised they let people as stupid as you on the internet. Please go annoy someone else.
ReplyDeleteSo I tried this today and IT WORKED!!! I wore my pink sparkly socks (first commenter: we might have the same socks!!) and my friend was going on and on about her boyfriend and I being completely NOT jealous yelled at her to look at my socks! She did and now I'm dating her ex boyfriend. Just kidding. I don't wish that at all. But she stopped talking and let me talk about a new movie for the rest of the conversation. Thanks! (do you have any conversation changers for getting your friend's boyfriend to like you instead. not that i would use it but it might come in handy... later in life)
