Herbert slumped onto the sofa, the TV remote already in hand. Margot sighed, entering the living room with a damp cloth. "Herbert, the backyard pool is practically overflowing. You promised to tighten the drain valve."

Herbert waved a dismissive hand. "It'll be fine, Margot. A little extra water never hurt anyone. Besides, I'm watching this documentary about competitive donut-eating. The commentator is hilarious!"

Margot pointed towards the window. "Brian is trying to build a raft. If that pool overflows, he might actually drown in our petunias."

Herbert chuckled. "Brian's got a life jacket. And petunias float, right? Anyway, what's my justification for missing this epic donut showdown? It's educational!"

Margot's eye began to twitch. She dabbed at a spot on the coffee table, her voice dangerously calm. "Your justification is that I'm about to develop a massive vein in my forehead if I have to deal with a flooded garden and a floating pre-teen!"

Herbert reluctantly put down the remote. "Alright, alright. Don't get your capillaries in a twist. I'll go tighten the thing. But you're missing out on history in the making!"

He shuffled towards the back door, muttering about the sacrifices a man makes for a peaceful life. Margot watched him go, then picked up the remote herself. Maybe just a peek at the donut competition wouldn't hurt�?�
