Dear Auntie Carol…
How do you keep yourself entertained during long journeys?
Auntie Carol says…
I waited to answer this question until I was on a long journey myself! I’m a method actress, you see. I take my job VERY seriously.
Now that I’m a world famous Agony Aunt, and the #PeoplesPrincess, I keep myself entertained on long journeys by answering readers’ questions with pearls of wisdom. BUT, before I was such a busy national treasure, I had other ways of entertaining myself!
- Play games
Eye-spy? Eye WHY! Noughts and crosses? NO more binaries! Hangman? NO – preach love, not death!
These games are tired. This Aunty recommends: ‘The Issues Game’. Try and guess whether a stranger has daddy issues, mummy issues, or internal issues, and explain why. EVERYBODY has got issues!
SEE! A game for intellectuals.
- Make a playlist
Look out of the window: smize, smoulder, vogue the backseat down. Get your own music video fantasy!
Points of inspiration include: ‘Same Old Love’ by Selena Gomez, ‘Partition’ by Beyoncé, ‘Telephone’ by Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé.
Be careful of doing this in an Uber – you might not get five stars if you’re practicing your hairography in the rearview mirror.
- Read
Be careful you don’t read for too long otherwise you’ll be tap tap tapping your satnav to redirect you to a hospital because you’ll feel SICK!
“Remember only boring people get bored!”
Next time you’re on a long journey, consider one of these options. Remember only boring people get bored!
Alexa, play ‘Shut Up And Drive’.
Entertain me on my next long journey – ask me a question here!
