Herbert was feeling particularly passive today. Margot kept asking him to fix the leaky faucet, but he just couldn't muster the energy.

"Herbert, it's been dripping for a week!" Margot exclaimed, her voice rising slightly. "I’ll call Mr. Henderson if you keep delaying."

Herbert sighed dramatically. "Alright, alright. I'll get to it. Just let me finish my donut."

Later that day, Brian ran into the house, out of breath.

"Dad! There's a notice on Mrs. Gable's door! She's been kidnapped!"

Herbert, mid-bite of another donut, choked. "Kidnapped? In Oakhaven? That's preposterous."

Margot, ever the pragmatist, grabbed her purse. "We need to call the authorities, Herbert. This isn't a joke."

As it turned out, Mrs. Gable hadn't been kidnapped. She'd simply gone on an impromptu vacation to visit her sister, neglecting to inform anyone. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on Margot; Herbert, usually passive, was suddenly energized by the (false) prospect of local drama.

The neighbors were very supportive of Mrs. Gable upon her return, although they did gently chide her for the misunderstanding. The local news even covered the story, albeit briefly.

A few days later, the town crier read the verdict: Mrs. Gable was found guilty of generating unnecessary gossip.

Herbert laughed, shaking his head. "Only in Oakhaven," he chuckled.
