Herbert sat at the kitchen table, the morning sun streaming through the window. He hummed a little tune, stirring his coffee with a spoon.

Margot walked in, her face a picture of weary resignation. "Morning, Herbert. Please try to keep the tone down. It's early,", she said, already reaching for the kettle.

Herbert chuckled. "What's wrong, love? Bad dream about vacuum cleaners attacking Oakhaven again?"

Margot sighed. "Very funny. I just had a run-in with Mrs. Henderson, the Avon dealer, at the Corner Shop. She wouldn't stop talking about her new anti-aging cream."

"Ah, yes, the cream that promises eternal youth," Herbert said, taking a large gulp of coffee. "Speaking of youth... did Brian manage to get out of bed somehow this morning?"

"He's gone to school," Margot confirmed. "Though I suspect he traded his lunch for someone else's candy. I need a strong coffee... and possibly a new house."

Herbert patted her hand. "Now, now. It's not so bad. We have each other, a roof over our heads, and the unshakeable feeling that things could always be worse."

Suddenly, Brian burst through the door, a whirlwind of energy. "Dad, Dad! Guess what? Old fellow Johnson said if I help him with his garden all week, he'll give me his old skateboard!"

Herbert's eyes lit up. "Johnson? Really? He's practically ancient! Still, a free skateboard is a free skateboard. What's the catch?"

Brian shrugged. "He wants me to pull weeds, prune roses, and paint his fence. But it's worth it! I had a vision of myself doing a kickflip!"

Margot groaned. "Oh, Brian. You'll probably end up with blisters and sunburn. Herbert, make sure he wears sunscreen!"

Herbert winked at Brian. "Don't worry, son. I'll give you tips. The key is strategic napping and delegating tasks to imaginary friends."
