On a trip with the bird and her mother and after driving half way am now related to the back seat. Can't remember the last time I sat in the back of a car.

Anyway, bored now. Apart from continually asking "are we nearly there yet?" is there anything else I should be doing, or maybe helpful tips I should be offering, that kind of thing?

'Mind the cyclist'
'Watch that car turning right'
'Don't get to close to the kerb'

Possibilities are endless, you may end up walking though.

when we were younger we used to sneak the handbrake on when stuck in traffic, then convince the driver he'd forgotten to pull it off.
I do not condone such behaviour but it is amusing.

Go quiet suddenly, then announce "I think I'm going to be si..." before shouting soup all over the Mother in-law.

When I were a lad and was left in the car for five mins I'd put the radio on full, wipers on fast and fan on full so it all burst into life when the ignition was switched back on.

Won't work whilst we're going along though...

Ask for sweets repeatedly. Find a biro and draw on the leather.

I also don't condone it, but its surprising how easy it is knock the car out of gear when the driver is gently cruising without them noticing until the car starts slowing down with ever increasing revs.
