Herbert slumped onto the sofa, a handful of potato chips in his hand. Margot eyed him wearily from the kitchen table, where she was attempting to balance the household budget.

"Did you remember to pick up Molly from the ward at the clinic today, Herbert?" she asked, without looking up.

Herbert paused, mid-chew. "Clinic? Oh, right! Her debut check-up. I completely forgot. Was it today?"

Margot sighed. "Herbert! It was on the calendar, highlighted! And I reminded you three times!"

"Well, the Oakhaven Industries softball team had their final game. It was quite the spectacle" Herbert said, unconvincingly. "Besides, I thought the appointment was tomorrow. Perhaps there was a leak in communication."

Margot pinched the bridge of her nose. "A leak? Herbert, your conception of time is�?�fluid, at best."

Herbert shrugged. "I'll go get her now, then. No harm done." He stood up, scattering chips. "Maybe I can convince them to give me a lollipop too."

Margot watched him go, shaking her head. "Just�?�bring her home, Herbert."
