I just asked my husband if I could go back to working on my computer. He was telling me about some gadget or app he had read about and thought was neat. I wasn't interested but I politely conversed for a couple minutes - without enthusiasm on my part - and since he was apparently going to go on at length, I asked if I could go back to what I was doing.
He apologized and said sure. He seems very bad at picking up social cues, at least from me, so I have to be explicit with him.
As to the OP ... I recommend if you want something in your mouth, use a sugarless candy or gum. Not a rock, and not a toothpick.
