Vocabulary 94 - C1

Herbert slumped onto the sofa, remote in hand. Margot entered, carrying a grocery bag.
"Herbert," she sighed. "Did you remember to pick up Brian from school?"
"Uh..." Herbert mumbled, eyes glued to the TV. "There was a rerun on about donut defects. Fascinating stuff."
Margot placed the bag on the counter, exasperated. "A donut defect? Brian could be anywhere! This is beyond my allowance of patience."
"Relax, dear," Herbert said, changing channels. "He's probably at the park, practicing his skateboarding tactics. Always trying some new, ridiculous stunt."
Margot stared at him. "And you think that's reassuring? What if he's hurt? Or worse, trying to sell 'skateboard art' again? That last venture wasn't very profitable."
Herbert chuckled. "Come on, Margot. He's resourceful. He'll be fine. Besides," he added, a glint in his eye, "I'm sure he'll land on his feet with some sort of grace."
Margot grabbed her car keys. "I'm going to get him. And you, Herbert Walker, are making dinner tonight."
Herbert groaned as the door slammed shut. "Donut documentaries and family duty...life is so unfair..."
Later that evening, Brian walked in with a sheepish grin.
"Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad. Sorry I'm late. Mr. Henderson needed help with his computer. Got five bucks!"
Margot, setting the table, raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Henderson who lives down the street and still uses dial-up?"
Brian shrugged. "Hey, a kid's gotta eat."
Herbert, who had managed to burn the pasta, looked at Brian with a newfound respect. Maybe get-rich-quick schemes ran in the family.
