Gotta laugh at the Thanksgiving family stories of that one family member that’s cra-cra and always causing tension when we’re all seated, or stuck, at the dinner table.

“Pass the mashed potatoes”  is a phrase I heard years ago and it works!!  Interrupt or change the subject to shut that person up, or at least delay that family members nonsense to get a mental break!

Have your own code-phrase and use it this Thanksgiving Holiday, and go ahead and pull it out as needed throughout the rest of the year.
