Apparently, I talk about Trump and Putin all the time. At least that’s what my family alleges. Whenever we sit at the table for Sunday dinner, I (allegedly) steer the conversation towards foreign politics.
It’s not true.
I also criticize our own leadership, here in Canada.
And I pontificate about political correctness, the snowflake generation, and why America needed shaking up, hoping some of that rubs off on Canada, come next election.
Change is not always such a bad thing.
But despite the unfair restrictions imposed on my Sunday dinner conversational topics, my wife returns from her Disney/Universal vacation in Florida, with a gift for me.
A chocolate bar.
And I loved it.
Just wait until next Sunday.
Well, if I may suggest, can you move the topic entirely out of politics?
Usually, I personally do not like discussing politics especially foreign affairs over dinner. I prefer discussing issues pertaining closely to the family.
I hope one day she won’t stop buying things for you!

It’s not quite as big an issue as I let on the post, at least from my perspective! I agree though, politics and religion should be saved for those occasional late night debacles with close friends🙂!
Thanks for commenting!

We try to reduce discussing Trump during meals as much as possible. Rather successfully: breakfast November 2nd The Donald wasn’t mentioned at all.

I hear you! It’s hard not to backslide, considering every headline you read reminds you there’s a domestic political battle still raging.
Cheers, thanks for stopping by!🙂

Sometimes I will try to discuss political matters only to be told that I am not interested, etc. Normally, I am not as political as I used to be but on occasion, there will be something that annoys the hell out of me that occurs. Stay strong, lol.

Ah, luckily we don’t have that problem. I think South Africa has a way bigger political problem than the US. Good luck with the Donald-conversation diet. As for the chocolate, I’m not sure how appetizing it is looking at the wrapper.
