Vocabulary 224 - C1

Herbert slumped onto the sofa, remote in hand. "Another day, another dollar... barely," he muttered. Margot walked in, holding a dusty old box.

"Herbert, I found your old stamp accumulation. Remember? You were going to make a fortune!"

Herbert sighed. "That was before I discovered the joys of daytime television and the donut of the month club. Still, I had high hopes, real dreams of excellence!"

Margot opened the box, revealing a disorganized mess of stamps. "Looks more like an accumulation of dust bunnies. Still, you got a new banner, which was nice."

"Well, yes, and I briefly thought I was a famous subscriber to Stamp Monthly," he said, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "It was a simpler time."

Brian walked in, skateboarding gear in hand. "Hey, Mom, can you sign this permission slip?"

Margot took the slip, glanced at the stamp box, then back at Brian. "Only if you help your father sort through this. Maybe he’ll finally achieve some kind of accomplishment from it."

Brian groaned. "Stamps? Seriously? Can't I just mow the lawn instead?"

Herbert perked up. "Mow the lawn AND help with the stamps? That sounds like an accomplishment worth celebrating... with a donut!"

Margot rolled her eyes. "Herbert! One thing at a time."

Later, Herbert, surrounded by stamps and with Brian begrudgingly helping, discovered a rare upside-down stamp. His eyes widened. "Margot! I think... I think I might actually have something here!" He momentarily envisioned himself being praised in a magazine, waving from a banner celebrating his achievement.

Margot entered, skeptical. "Don't get your hopes up, Herbert. Just don't quit your day job. What did the subscriber write about anyway?"

Brian examined the stamp. "Cool! I think it’s upside down by design. Look, it’s an upside-down pizza!"

Herbert stared at the stamp, then at Brian. His dreams of philatelic excellence started to deflate. He then sniffed the air and perked up. "Did someone say pizza?"
