You’re at dinner with your family and things start to get tense. What do you do?

Just keep eating quietly.

Choose a cutlery weapon in case things get worse.

Divert your attention to dessert.

Excuse yourself, exasperated you can’t have one nice meal.

Flip the table.

Decide it’s time to go home.

Tell an inappropriate joke to break the tension.

Offer up some cowboy wisdom that ends the argument right there.
