1. Bring up their pets. People love to talk about their animals, and they also love to show off the many pictures they have of their beloved pets.
2. Talk about the kids. Children are a wonderful time-consuming subject, and have the power to distract a parent from other subjects.
3. Ask about their latest project. Everyone has something they're working on. If you ask the right questions, you'll not only gain a new understanding of their project, but you'll make them happy to have had an opportunity to gush about it.
4. Fall asleep. By the time you wake up, the subject should have changed.
5. Mention food. People love food. Especially their favorite foods. Use this subject-changer wisely.
6. Bring up something that you're interested in. At the first lull, seize the conversation and take it down the road of what interests you.
7. Be blunt. Just say that you want to tall about something else, and then talk about that new subject.
8. Through a battle. Make your choice, and after three rounds the paper rock scissors champion may lead the conversation wherever they choose.
9. Stop talking to people. If you don't talk to anyone, the you'll never need worry about changing the subject.
10. Go join another conversation. Plus if you wander from one group to another, you'll have a better chance of making new friends.
