What can I do during a long drive home to enjoy a novel?

You could choose a novel based on your interests. For example, if you like mystery, pick a well - known mystery novel. Agatha Christie's books are great for this.

Playing car games is also fun. For example, the license plate game where you try to find license plates from different states or countries. Another one is the alphabet game where you look for words starting with each letter of the alphabet in order as you drive by signs and billboards.

During a long flight home, you may face various situations. Turbulence is common and can be a bit scary. You might have trouble sleeping due to the uncomfortable seats in economy class. Food on the plane might not suit your taste. However, if you're lucky, you could have an empty seat next to you, giving you more space. You could also enjoy some in - flight entertainment, like watching a great movie or listening to music.

On the drive home, the wife in the backseat could have been occupied with some work she brought home. Maybe she was reading through some important documents, making notes on her tablet. Or she might have been on a call, discussing some urgent matters with a colleague, all while being on the way back home.

During a long ride home, one might encounter various things. For example, seeing beautiful sceneries like a sunset over the fields or a herd of deer by the roadside. There could also be unexpected flat tires or meeting interesting people at a rest stop.

In some cases, it can be appropriate. If they are in a situation where there are no other options due to space constraints and it's a family - only environment, it may be okay. For example, if they are in a small camper van and all the seats are occupied with necessary items.

Well, generally speaking, it's not proper. We should uphold certain social and family norms. Mom and son are family members, but this kind of overly intimate physical contact like sitting on the lap might make both of them feel uncomfortable in a way, and it also doesn't conform to the common sense of propriety in family relationships. There could be other options like sharing a seat cushion or rearranging the seating in the vehicle to make the long drive more comfortable without this kind of inappropriate behavior.

One possible reason could be that there is not enough space in the vehicle. Maybe there are a lot of bags or other items taking up the seats, so mom has to sit on son's lap as a last resort.

Another option is to go on a winter hike. If the scenery is beautiful during winter in your area, wrap up warm, take some hot drinks in thermoses, and explore nature. You might see some amazing winter landscapes and wildlife. And it's also a good chance to exercise and get some fresh air.

I'm not sure specifically as there could be many stories with this name. But generally, it might be about a long journey by car or some other vehicle, perhaps with various encounters and challenges along the way.
