Herbert settled into his favorite armchair, sighing contentedly. Margot bustled around the living room, straightening cushions and muttering about his untidiness. Brian was attempting a complicated skateboard trick just outside the window.

"Herbert, are you even listening?" Margot asked, waving a feather duster at him.
"Of course, dear," Herbert replied, not taking his eyes off the television. "Something about…dust bunnies?"

Margot sighed. "I was talking about your latest harebrained scheme!" She brandished a crumpled piece of paper. "This transcript of your conversation with Barry from The Dog & Duck about buying a llama farm!"

Herbert chuckled nervously. "Ah, that. Just a little…fantasy football, Margot. Nothing to worry about."

Suddenly, Brian crashed through the flower bed, narrowly missing the window. "Sorry, Mom! My bad!"

Margot pinched the bridge of her nose. "Brian! You’re grounded! And Herbert, I swear, if you don’t dispose of that ridiculous farm idea…"

Herbert mumbled something about early retirement, while Brian sheepishly began picking up broken geraniums.

Later that evening, Laura was trying to practice her saxophone, but the television was on at full blast, and Brian was still practicing his skateboarding moves in the living room (despite being grounded). The level of interference was unbearable.

"Can you guys please be quiet?" Laura pleaded. "I'm trying to concentrate!"

Herbert, continually flipping through channels, barely glanced at her. "Just one more minute, sweetie. The donut-judging competition is about to start."

Brian, ever the opportunist, chimed in. "Yeah, Laura! You can practice later! Plus, I need to record the show later on my dual VCRs."

Laura slammed her saxophone case shut. "This family is impossible!"

Margot walked in. "Laura, honey, I know it's frustrating. Herbert, turn down the TV. Brian, inside, NOW. And Laura, maybe you can practice at the park tomorrow?"

Laura sighed, knowing that Margot was the only one who ever even attempted to bring a semblance of peace to their chaotic household.
