Conversation Changer #4: Food

Prepare: You don't really need to prepare. Think of a food. Know what food is.

What to do: Ask the people for food. When they try to remember what they were talking about before, introduce a new topic.

Example:

Fred: Look! There's Kris and Maria!
Jarrah: They are so cute!
Alberto: Adorable!
Carlos: They're holding hands!
Jarrah, Alberto, Carlos: Aww!
Kris: (blushes)
Maria: Does anybody have any M&M's?
All: (look for M&M's)
Fred: I have pocket lint...
Jarrah: Maybe, yeah.
Alberto: No...
Carlos: Why?
Maria: (takes M&M's) Thanks.
Fred: Wait, what were we talking about before?
Maria: Flying pigs.
Carlos: Oh yeah! Flying pigs are pretty cool!
Jarrah: I had a flying pig once. Her name was Pakuna.
Alberto: Really? I didn't know that....
Fred: Pakuna?

Conclusion: Voila! You changed the conversation. And you got food. Two for one.

Warning: Your friends might not have food. That would be awkward. Or they might remember what they were talking about before. But that's not likely. It helps if you have chocolate.

  3. so I came back to see if that JB fan had commented. (she hadn't) and I saw this and it's pretty neat. I will use this. Maybe not the flying pigs part (that is a bit weird) but I will use the food part. I mean I love food and this is perfect.

  4. Okay. I'm at school and I need a conversation changer because I've been avoidng my friend because she keeps asking me to go to her party but I don't want to because my ex boyfriend is there but she doesn't care. I will totally use this! I hope it works.

  5. LiveLaughLove, YAY! Our blog isn't blocked on school computers!
    As for the flying pig insulter, Pakuna is no longer with us because of people like you.
    And I love MnMs too. :) (So did Pakuna)

  8. Oh... I still remeber the last flying pig I had... flappiest thing I'd have ever seen. Until the tree incident. (sniffles) Just thinkin about her brings tears to my eyes...
    You go Jarrah!
    Bring the flying pig-haters to an end. Avenge Pakuna and Fredina! (and NO she was NOT named after Fred)
    Oh, and BTW... absoloutely LOVED this CC! I blame Fred for the confusion with "Viola" though, but other than that, GREAT! (Sorry, Fred)

  9. artmaster01!! <3 I think we would be best friends!! I love flying pigs! Did you ever make people do things they would only do "when pigs fly"? Haha Pakuna and I loved doing that!! We once made my friend pay me a 100 dollars but she stole it back. :)

  10. I know, it's hilarious!!! One time, I dared my teacher to dress up like a clown on Picture Day, but she said that'd she'd promise to do it when "Pigs Fly" The next day, I brought Fredina to school (secretly of course-NO AUTOGRAPHS PEOPLE) and at first she freaked out. Then she called the police. Then they came. Then she was taken to a sanity camp for mentally unstable people. And then I was sad. But now I'm happy again. Who knows why?
    Oh and don't you think Fred would feel a bit left out, considering his best friend picked someone new? (HAHA IN YO FACE FRED!)
    P.S. I don't like push-ups either...
