Herbert slumped onto the sofa, reaching for the remote. "Margot, I swear, this new diet is starting to deprive me of my basic human rights!"

Margot, folding laundry nearby, sighed. "Oh, Herbert, you've been on it for two days. It's hardly a violation of the Geneva Convention."

Herbert grumbled. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one whose very happiness is being systematically dismantled, one carrot stick at a time."

"Maybe if you weren't so dramatic..." Margot began, before Brian burst through the front door, skateboarding helmet askew.

"Mom! I need five bucks!" Brian demanded.

"For what, another video game?" Margot inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"No!" Brian protested, perhaps a bit too vehemently. "It's for... a very important school project. About... uh... philosophers!"

Margot gave him a skeptical look. "Philosophers? Since when are you interested in philosophers?"

Brian shifted his weight. "Since now! Look, just give me the money, okay?"

Herbert, sensing an opportunity to divert attention from his dietary woes, chimed in, "Hold on, son. Let's see if this 'school project' manifests itself with any actual paperwork. Otherwise, I manifest some hostility."

"Oh, come on, Dad!" Brian exclaimed, exasperated. "You always do this!"

Margot intervened. "Alright, alright. Brian, show me the assignment later. And Herbert, stop trying to turn everything into a negotiation. Honestly, you two are more difficult than Molly sometimes."

Later that evening, after Brian had (predictably) failed to produce any evidence of a philosopher-related project, Margot found Herbert rummaging in the pantry.

"What are you doing?" she questioned.

"Looking for a snack," Herbert confessed sheepishly. "This diet is making me a terrible spouse! I'm practically unbearable!"

Margot chuckled, shaking her head. "You were already unbearable, dear. The diet just makes it more obvious."
