Herbert shuffled into the kitchen, still half-asleep. Margot was already at the table, reading the local paper.

"Morning, love," he mumbled. "Anything interesting?"

Margot lowered the paper. "Just the usual Oakhaven news. Old Mrs. Henderson wants to erect a statue of her cat in the park. Says it's a tribute to all the feline friends in town."

Herbert chuckled. "That's Mrs. Henderson for you. Always campaigning for something. She probably thinks the whole town is her constituency."

He poured himself a cup of coffee, nearly overflowing it. "I presume there's no chance of anyone making decent coffee in this house?"

Margot sighed. "I made a fresh pot just now, Herbert. You need to open your eyes. And please, try not to reproduce that awful slurping sound when you drink."

Herbert ignored her, scrolling through his phone. "Oh, look! Oakhaven Industries is having a 'bring your child to work day.' I should take Brian!"

Margot frowned. "Absolutely not. The last time Brian was anywhere near your workplace, he tried to launch a drone from the roof. Besides, he has a skateboarding competition."

"He wouldn't cause any trouble this time," Herbert protested weakly. "It would be a bonding experience! Show him the value of hard work..."

Margot gave him a pointed look. "The only sentiment Brian would get from that is how much he prefers skateboarding."

Herbert grumbled something about unappreciated efforts and retreated to the living room with his coffee and the remote.
