A question? OK, how should I make conversation with Miss Vacuity, my youngest's current squeeze, who despite having a law degree appears to have the intelligence and general knowledge of, say, Geo. Bush, without any of his volubility. She knows a lot about fashion, but then, I don't.
Just pretend to listen. Nod occasionally, say aha and hmm......you will be fine.
Meanwhile, think your own thoughts. All will be well.

A gift functions like a cliche, terminating conversation which, in this case, obviously ought to be your goal. I'd go with a modestly priced piece of jewelry from a snappy little Manhattan boutique.
Nah....most people prefer their own voice to conversation. But, of course, your jewellery shop would be a perfect place to distract the woman!!!!

I hate to say it, but I must.
NONSENSE!
I for one hate lamb.
