Herbert sighed, staring at the overgrown lawn. "Margot," he called, "that new tenant Mr. Abernathy is complaining about the yard again."

Margot, busy fixing a leaky faucet, replied, "Well, Herbert, perhaps if you demonstrated some reliability and actually mowed it when you said you would..."

Herbert shuffled his feet. "I was going to, but then the Oakhaven Donut Festival had that surprise early blast of discounted crullers! You can’t expect me to ignore that, can you?"

Margot emerged from under the sink, wiping her hands. "Honestly, Herbert!" Then, lowering her voice, she added, "Mr. Abernathy said he'd testify against us at the homeowner's association meeting if we don't maintain the property."

Later that day, Brian was practicing skateboarding tricks in the driveway when Mr. Abernathy, a small, elderly man with a perpetually grumpy expression, walked by.

"Young man!" Mr. Abernathy huffed. "Are you planning on causing a landslide with all that racket? Do you expect the house to descend into the earth?"

Brian, without missing a beat, replied, "Only if you promise to stop complaining about the lawn, sir!"

Herbert, who had been napping on the porch swing, suddenly sat up straight, donut crumbs falling from his shirt. "Brian! Be nice to our tenant!" he mumbled, before promptly falling back asleep.
