Herbert slumped onto the sofa, remote in hand. "Margot," he groaned, "I explicitly told you not to schedule my golf game for this weekend. It's the Oakhaven Donut-Eating Championship!"

Margot, stirring a pot on the stove, called back, "Oh, I�?Tm sorry, Herbert, I seem to have confused that with something important."

Brian walked in, holding a tangled mess of string. "Mom, can you help me weave this into a fishing net? I'm going to catch trout in the birdbath."

Margot sighed, "Brian, darling, you�?Tll need more than that sad little string. Besides, you'll only scare the birds."

Herbert chuckled. "He's got your competitive spirit, Margot. Remember that time you tried to whip everyone at the neighborhood picnic sack race?"

Margot glared at Herbert. "That's different. I was defending our family's honor."

Later that evening, Laura walked into the living room while Herbert was trying to change the TV channel with his toes. "Dad, can we talk about something intimate?"

Herbert, startled, dropped the remote. "Intimate? Laura, I'm not sure I'm ready for this. Has a boy scout asked you to the prom?"

Laura rolled her eyes. "It's about the local park. Councilman Peterson wants to cut down the old oak tree to make way for more parking spaces. He thinks his decisions will reign supreme forever."

Herbert picked up the remote. "Well, parking is a problem. But that tree is old. Maybe there's a compromise."

Laura huffed. "Compromise? It�?Ts a century-old tree, Dad!"

"Alright, alright," Herbert said, already tuning her out as he settled in to watch the donut-eating competition. "Let�?Ts talk about it after the game."
