I agree -- vent to him!

I have one or two female friends that call and talk incessantly about their own lives, but whenever I try to talk about mine, they interrupt with their own stories. Being the polite person I am, I took it for a long, long time. Then I started doing what they were doing: talking incessantly and interrupting THEIR stories. Guess what? It gets me off the phone SO much more quickly because they're not interested in listening .

So I would say, when Gramps starts talking, you should start talking/venting about anything and everything! He'll realize quite quickly that it's not a one way street
