I say nothing. I am afraid that something mean will fall out of my mouth and I will have to deal with that too. So, I say nothing. It has saved me hundreds of times from all kinds of things.
My daughters say I give "the look."

Depends on the conversation, but I say, "My name is Bennit, and I ain't in it" if it is something I don't care to hear, or comment on.

Many times the best choice will be to say nothing.
