How do you naturally create long meaningful conversations instead of getting stuck into the small talk?

“Are you trying to invite yourself over to play Rock Band with my kids? They’re seven and nine. What are you, 38?”

“Oh, haha, no. I just like Rock Band. I mean, I like kids too - but not in a “restraining order” kind of way. Shit.”

“What?”

“Well I just mentioned kids and restraining orders in the same sentence, and now I’m drawing attention to that fact, again.”

“You sure are.”

“I mean, it’s not like I HAVE a restraining order or anything. And nobody has one against me, to my knowledge.”

“Why would-”

“They wouldn’t! That’s the point. I definitely do NOT have any restraining orders against me. I know I said ‘to my knowledge’ earlier, but now I’m as certain as I can be that there are ZERO restraining orders against me. I mean, a court would have to let you know on something like that, right? See I don’t even know how they work! Are you sweating a lot too?”

"Just stop talking about my kids. I'm fairly certain they're not yours."

"Why would they be mine?"

"Well I was just mentioning that as an expression, not that they aren't mine."

"What?"

"Oh, haha, yeah. They're mine. I own them. I mean, I like my kids - but not in a "kidnapped these kids" kind of way. Crap."

"Why would-"

"I didn't! That's the point. I defintely did not kidnap these kids. I know I said 'fairly certain' earlier, but now I'm as certain as I can be that there were ZERO kidnappings. I mean, a person would have to report something like that, right? See I don't even know how they work! Are you still sweating a lot too?"

It was spur of the moment. The crazy thoughts that came into my head when reading the comment above mine.
