The noon sun beat down on Oakhaven Park as Herbert and Brian debated the merits of different ice cream flavors.

“Dad, seriously, rocky road is the only logical choice,” Brian asserted, wiping sweat from his brow.
Herbert, fanning himself with a crumpled flyer, countered, “Logical? Son, logic has no place when confronted with the euphoric experience of pistachio. Besides, I heard they're offering a prospective discount today if you wear green.

Brian rolled his eyes. “You’d say anything for a bargain. Speaking of which, Mom wants to talk to you about my skateboarding tuition. It's due next week.

Herbert groaned dramatically. "Skateboarding tuition? Is that even a thing? In my day, we just used milk crates and gravity!"

Brian chuckled. "Yeah, well, times change. Anyway, Laura's thinking of applying to that fancy coastal architecture program."

Herbert blinked. "Architecture? Coastal architecture? Why does everyone in this family need such expensive hobbies? At least I’m contributing to the economy with my discerning donut palate and expertise in architectural safety at Oakhaven Industries."

Brian snorted. "Donut palate? You mean eating five donuts before noon, every day, at the factory? And your contribution is mostly flagging faulty door frames; the ones with awful architectural designs.

Herbert feigned offense. "It's a crucial role! Prevents accidents!" He paused. "Hey, did you say Laura wants to study architecture? Maybe she could design us a new garage. Cheaper than paying someone else."

Brian laughed. "Knowing Laura, she'd probably design a green, sustainable, minimalist masterpiece that would make Oakhaven the envy of the world. Which will increase our property taxes."

Herbert sighed. "Well, at least it wouldn't cost any additional tuition fees."

"Not for you, maybe" Brian said with a knowing smile.
