I usually say something along the same lines when I want to change the subject. I've even done the, Soooo....... how bout that football game? or whatever. It usually makes us both kinda laugh and my T gets the hint. Doesn't matter if it's because it's too difficult at the moment or if I have something else that I need to talk about.
I have also used the little break in conversations to change the subject by asking my T a question that somehow relates to what I'd rather be talking about. For example: If I am having a hard time with my son. I'll ask, Have you ever been in this situation?
