Step 4: The Longerest Game

Step 4 is where things get really interesting. Your in-law has managed to outlast you at the dinner table, the phone call, and the game night. It's time to up your game with:

• Longer, longer, longer sentences: Speak at a pace that makes them feel like they're listening to a 3-hour TED Talk.
• More, more, more questions: Ask so many questions they start to feel like they're on 'Jeopardy'.
• Longer, more complex arguments: Make them feel like they're trapped in a never-ending loop of 'The Twilight Zone'.

Remember, the goal is not to win, it's to survive. Or, you know, outlast your in-law. Which is basically the same thing.
