Simply Ignore It

How do I change the conversation on social media?
By starting a new one
It that does not work I throw an unusual piece of art on my wall.
If it is ignored, I go to Pinterest and collect five photos I love.
I post them.
If that is ignored, I throw on a cartoon that would make the
Grim Reaper laugh.
Most people will change the subject when they realize
How difficult it is to keep up a conversation by themselves
If they do not, I post photos of my cat, dog, and grandchildren.
By now they are realizing I am not going to be suckered in.
The one thing I do not do is react to a conversation I do not agree with.
I simply ignore it.
