Herbert slumped onto the sofa. "This tournament is rigged!" he grumbled. "My bracket is completely valid, but the TV won't show my pickleball matches."

Margot sighed, entering the living room. "Herbert, you entered a children's pickleball tournament. Of course, your bracket wasn't valid. And the TV's not showing it because nobody wants to see a grown man compete with kids."

Herbert waved his hand dismissively. "Details, details. I was going to win a ton of prize money!"

Brian walked in, skateboard in hand. "Dad, you promised to drive me to the skate park."

Herbert groaned. "Later, Brian. I'm trying to plan my comeback. Maybe I can beg the judges to let me re-enter the 7-year-olds' division."

Margot rolled her eyes. "Herbert, you are not begging anyone. And Brian, go ask your mother. I'm sure she will gladly take you to the park."

Later, at the park, Brian skated while Margot watched. He tried a new trick, but landed awkwardly.

"Are you okay?" Margot asked, concerned.

Brian dusted himself off. "Yeah, I'm fine. But maybe I should beg Dad to buy me some new pads. These ones are ancient."

Margot smiled. "We'll see. Now, show me that trick again."

Herbert, meanwhile, sat alone on the sofa, flipping through channels, already forgetting his pickleball humiliation, eyes glued to a documentary about a giant carrot that was intended as a monument to agriculture. He briefly wondered if it weighed a ton. He decided to try to grow one himself. This could be his ticket!

He imagined the giant carrot monument in their front yard. "Oakhaven's claim to fame!" he exclaimed to himself.
