Whether it's foot in mouth, a sudden heavy subject, or some utter nonsense that you don't know how to process, what's something that's come up in an otherwise alright conversation that's stopped it dead in its track for both of you?

We were celebrating my birthday at a nice restaurant. My cousin, who had just had her first child 2 months before, was there.

I asked when he was eligible to be vaccinated (this was pre-Covid, so just talking routine infant vaccinations).

She said she wasn’t sure if she was because she read on FB that….

I had had some good wine. I had heard enough. It was my birthday and I regret nothing, but we didn’t speak for a very long while after I went into “are you fucking kidding me” mode.

When the Covid vaccines came out, my wife and I immediately got them. A couple of weeks later, our kids had a patch of various sicknesses, nothing major just some mild infections. I told our kindergarten teacher that I was annoyed about that and she tells, she read, that we are shedding the vaccine and that's why our kids are sick now. I went full "are you fucking kidding me" mode and felt really bad for a long time after that.

I would have pulled my kids from that class
