Herbert was attempting to watch his favourite quiz show, but Brian's boisterous skateboarding in the living room was proving distracting. "Brian!" Herbert bellowed, "Can't you find somewhere else to practice? This is important!"

Brian, mid-ollie, retorted, "But Dad, the park's too far, and it's raining out back!"

Herbert sighed dramatically. "This calls for an alliance," he declared, puffing out his chest. "I'll make a deal with you."

Brian, intrigued, stopped skating. "A deal? What kind?"

"If you keep the noise down during the quiz show, I'll… I'll clean your skateboard wheels. " Herbert offered, grimacing slightly.

Brian squinted. "Clean my wheels? That's your offer?"

"And," Herbert hastily added, "I'll install that new skateboard grip tape. The one you’ve been bugging me about!"

"Deal!" Brian agreed instantly, grabbing the skateboard and heading towards the garage. "But you better do it right!"

Herbert, relieved, settled back onto the sofa. He grabbed the remote, then realized it was missing a battery cover. Margot had probably taken it for some household project. "Blast!" he mumbled.

Margot walked in, carrying a toolbox. "Looking for this, Herbert?" she asked, holding up the battery cover. "I needed it to prop up a wobbly table leg. It’s a temporary replacement, I promise."

Herbert frowned. "But the quiz show's starting! How am I supposed to change the channel?"

"Thereby," Margot said, with a wry smile, "forcing you to watch something else for a change."

"But… the donuts!" Herbert exclaimed, remembering he had a box of glazed donuts hidden behind the cushions. "How will I know when to eat them? The ads are crucial for donut inspection!"

Margot raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "Herbert, they're donuts. You know when to eat them. Now, about that interface between the kitchen tap and the water pipe… it's leaking. I need your help."

Herbert groaned, then brightened slightly. "Maybe I can use the remote to pry open the tap!"

Margot rolled her eyes. "Just… come help me before I have to call a plumber."
