Vocabulary 199 - C1

Margot sighed, staring at the overflowing recycling bin. "Herbert, this is ridiculous. We need to deal with this before the HOA complains."

Herbert, comfortably ensconced on the sofa with the remote, mumbled, "It's all that new privatization initiative, Margot. They changed the pickup schedule, and now everything's a mess."

Margot rolled her eyes. "It has nothing to do with privatization and everything to do with your refusal to break down cardboard boxes! Honestly, you treat the remote like it's instrumental to world peace."

Later, Laura walked in, strumming her guitar. "Hey Mom, Dad. I'm heading to the park. They're protesting the proposed dam construction."

"A dam?" Herbert perked up, briefly distracted from the TV. "Where are they building a dam?"

"On the Oakhaven River. It's going to destroy the ecosystem! And the whole process is mired in bureaucracy. I swear, dealing with the town council is like wading through molasses."

Herbert chuckled. "Sounds like a job for someone else. Just be home for dinner, Laura."

Margot frowned. "Don't you think you should show some interest, Herbert? Laura cares deeply about this."

Herbert shrugged. "I care about dinner. Besides, I'm pretty sure the mayor's daughter is lesbian and I wouldn't know what to say to her anyway."

Margot facepalmed. "That has absolutely nothing to do with anything! Your lack of civic engagement is astounding."

Laura, already halfway out the door, called back, "It's fine, Mom. Some things never change."
