    Just pretend you have ADHD and keep changing the subject randomly to something else.

    Or how about, "Wow, this must be really hard for you... Say, what do you think about the Smiths' new Segway - I'm thinking about getting one."

    Oh, I didn't think she took offense. I thought she was "ouching" the pun!

    And "segue" is a great word, even spelled correctly! Very few people get that one right! smile

    I think that was just a great, hilarious exchange. I hope Val wasn't offended! (Especially since I ran with it right along after you!)

    Is all okay, Val?

    I was definitely ouching the pun! I think this exchange is great too. We can be so serious sometimes that I was actually thinking of posting something silly right before all this started.
