Vocabulary 41 - C1

Herbert shuffled into the kitchen, rubbing sleep from his eyes. Margot was already at the table, meticulously reviewing Brian's school attendance record.

"Anything wrong?" Herbert mumbled, reaching for the coffee pot.

"Only that Brian seems to think showing up to school three days a week is an acceptable average," Margot sighed. "I'm starting to question his priorities."

Herbert poured himself a cup. "He's a growing boy. Maybe he needs more sleep. Speaking of which, I think I need to review the back storage, which I may just turn into my new room".

Margot raised an eyebrow. "You're suggesting we reward truancy with extended rest and an elaborate room? Furthermore, I will not have you taking over any storage room! That stuff is important for… reasons!"

"Relax, relax," Herbert chuckled. "Just thinking out loud. Besides, Mr. Abernathy, my superior at Oakhaven Industries, says they might bring me to the next level, if my reports are better written. Now, that's some real stress."

Brian walked in, looking surprisingly well-rested. "Morning!" he chirped.

Margot fixed him with a stare. "Morning. We need to discuss your… less-than-stellar attendance. And I want answers."

Brian's smile faltered slightly. "Look, about that… I think Laura is going through a transformation. She's been acting weird and studying all the time. Maybe I can help her."

"A transformation?" Herbert asked, confused.

"Yes, a very serious transformation involving books and… and homework!" Brian exclaimed, desperate.

Margot sighed again. "And what does Laura's academic zeal have to do with your truancy? And by the way, pregnancy is not something we can easily talk about with Laura. Please stay away from her and don't annoy her."

Herbert chuckled. "I'll leave you two to it. Important factory stuff to do. Speaking of transformations, I heard they are giving out free donuts if we report for overtime this weekend..."

Margot shook her head as Herbert wandered off. "Honestly, sometimes I feel like I'm raising two children!"

Brian muttered, "Three, if you count Captain Hoppy." He made a swift exit before Margot could redirect her attention back to him.
