Vocabulary 54 - C1

Margot sighed, surveying the living room. Herbert was sprawled on the sofa, remote in hand, looking supremely content. Brian was attempting a skateboard trick, indoors, naturally.

"Herbert," Margot began, her voice carefully neutral, "remember Dr. Lee said you needed that injection this week?"

Herbert groaned, feigning immense suffering. "Oh, Margot, must I? It's such a bother. Besides, I feel perfectly fine."

Brian, momentarily upright after a near-miss with the coffee table, chimed in. "Yeah, Dad, you look great! Totally rebel-worthy."

Margot rolled her eyes. "Brian, please don't encourage him. Herbert, it's for your own good. It's just a precaution."

Herbert shifted, his gaze fixed on the television. "Precautions are for medieval doctors. Modern medicine is all about ignoring minor discomforts."

Later, at the Corner Shop, Brian was attempting to convince the deputy manager (Mr. Abernathy, a portly man with a perpetual frown) that he deserved extra candy because he had "helped" restack the cereal boxes.

Margot approached, holding a small bag of Herbert's favorite jelly donuts. "Brian, leave Mr. Abernathy alone. And Herbert got his injection after all."

Brian's eyes widened. "He did? How'd you manage that?"

Margot smiled faintly. "Let's just say I expressed my sincere appreciation to Dr. Lee for her persistence. Donuts are a great way to show appreciation, Brian."

Brian grinned. "So, donuts fix everything? Good to know."

Back at home, Herbert, post-injection and heavily medicated (via donuts), was watching a documentary about falconry. Margot found a moment of quiet satisfaction. The small victory felt like a true appreciation.

Brian, inspired by the documentary, declared himself a modern-day rebel falconer, attempting to train Captain Hoppy (Molly's stuffed rabbit) to retrieve snacks. The attempt quickly devolved into chaos, a scene right out of a rather disorganized, and not very medieval, jousting tournament.

Even the normally stoic Deputy Abernathy would have found the scene comical, assuming he wasn't too busy dealing with Herbert who had left a cart full of donuts at the store.
