A family dinner
Dinner with relatives has gone on a long time. Everyone keeps asking you questions.
What could you say?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Can I have ten minutes in my room? I will come back.
A strong fit
It asks for a break with a time and says you will be back.
Can I sit somewhere quieter for a bit?
Also works here
This asks for less noise. It works; a time helps too.
Answer every question until you want to cry.
Worth a second look
You can. Nobody knows you need a break unless you say so.
What people here usually expect
- Grown-ups usually say yes to a short break. It is a normal ask.
- Saying when you will come back helps.
- You can take a break even at a special dinner.
