[QUOTE="seriously, post: 433551, member: 11920"] Do you have one-liners that you use to deflect, disengage, delay or distract your difficult child when they are trying to argue, demand your attention, intrude in a conversation? I have learned to use a couple but I tend to long-windedness (hoots and guffaws from audience). I think I need to improve this skill so please share your best or the ones that work for you. I will be ever so grateful. My current mainstay is: [COLOR="#4169e1"]I'll get back to you about that.[/COLOR] If they don't stop then I come back with: [COLOR="#4169e1"]If you really need an answer right now then the answer is NO. (or yes if appropriate).[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
