Herbert slumped onto the sofa after a long day at Oakhaven Industries. "This job is driving me to the asylum," he grumbled to Margot, who was meticulously organizing a pile of coupons. "All that safety inspection, paperwork...it's enough to make a man yearn for early rehabilitation!"

Margot sighed, barely looking up. "Oh, Herbert, you say that every Tuesday. Besides, the real contention is over the remote. Brian wants to watch cartoons, and Laura's insisting on some documentary about...sustainable broccoli farming."

Herbert feigned a dramatic shudder. "Broccoli? Now that's genuine suffering. Where's our family coordinator when you need her? Someone has to make a ruling."

Just then, Brian zoomed into the room on his skateboard, nearly tripping over Herbert's outstretched feet. "Dad, Laura says I can't watch 'Galactic Gladiators'! It's totally unfair! I'm the only contender for the title of 'Ultimate Couch Potato' this weekend, and I need to study my craft!"

Margot finally put down her coupons. "Brian, your craft is avoiding homework. Herbert, you're supposed to be setting a good example. And Laura is on a field trip today. I will decide which program we watch."

Herbert smiled slyly. "Well, in that case, I'm suddenly feeling a profound need for a nap. Perhaps a brief stint in the 'Land of Nod' would qualify as my personal rehabilitation?" He closed his eyes dramatically. Margot just rolled her eyes and picked up the remote.

Later that evening, Herbert, having failed at his napping attempt, found Brian meticulously studying a series of wrestling moves on his tablet. "What are you up to, champ?"

Brian glanced up, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Practicing, Dad. Preparing for when I’m old enough to get out of this asylum."

Herbert laughed. "Attaboy. Always have a plan."
