Vocabulary 10 - C1

Herbert was trying to fix the old swing in the backyard. It had been creaking terribly, and Margot insisted it was a safety hazard.

"Honestly, Herbert," she said, watching him struggle with a rusty bolt, "the ratio of effort to progress seems very low."

Herbert grunted. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one out here in the forth trying to wrestle this thing."

Brian walked out, skateboard in hand. "What's up, Dad? Still battling the swing?"

"I've got a premise," Brian offered, "Maybe instead of fixing it, we just get a new one? Faster, easier, less… rusty."

Herbert glared at him. "The premise is, we fix what we have! We don't just replace everything that's a little broken."

Margot sighed. "Herbert, you know that’s not true. Remember that time you tried to fix the toaster with duct tape and it caught fire? Maybe Brian has a point."

Later that evening, Laura found Herbert reading a book about swing set construction.

"Trying to avoid another clinical assessment by Mom?" she asked, a smirk on her face.

Herbert looked up, startled. "What? No! I just thought I’d familiarize myself with the engineering principles before I went any forth… into that dangerous yard tomorrow."
