Vocabulary 25 - C1

Herbert slumped onto the sofa, a half-eaten donut in hand. "This remote is my privilege," he mumbled to Margot, who was trying to read a book.

Margot sighed. "Herbert, Molly needs a diaper change, and you're using the remote as an excuse to avoid it."

Herbert winced. "Can't it wait? This show is about a guy who can induce sleep just by snapping his fingers! Imagine the possibilities!"

Margot raised an eyebrow. "Whilst you're dreaming of snapping fingers, Molly's creating a biohazard."

Brian wandered in, skateboarding gear in tow. "Hey, Mom, can I borrow the car? I need to get to the skatepark."

Margot’s face took a severe twist. "Absolutely not, Brian. You haven't even finished your homework. Besides, your father needs the car. He's going to…"

"…get more donuts!" Herbert finished, beaming. "And maybe… uh… look into some, uh… investment opportunities!"

Margot gave Herbert a look that could curdle milk. "Investment opportunities that will inevitably lead to financial ruin?"

Herbert shrugged. "A man can dream. It's my privilege, isn't it? Anyway, getting back to Brian, I am actually off to Oakhaven Industries, I just need a little motivation before I go."

Margot shook her head and said, "Don't you dare think about trying to induce me to make excuses for you at work again."

Herbert, seeing the dangerous twist in Margot's demeanor, swiftly left the house, mumbling something about the joys of employment. He walked towards his car, wondering how long whilst he was there, he could get away with sneaking a nap. He decided he would worry about the consequences later.
