Herbert stood on the threshold of the garage, peering inside. "Margot," he called, "I think Brian might have�?� well, experimented with my tools again."

Margot sighed, walking over. "Herbert, you leave your tools out. What do you expect?"

"But look!" Herbert exclaimed, pointing. "He's tried to build a�?� a robotic squirrel? It looks like something out of a science fiction movie!"

Margot examined the mangled metal and wires. "He's probably just going through a phase. A teenage inventing syndrome, maybe."

Later, Brian was skateboarding in the park when Laura approached, looking concerned. "Brian, Dad's tools�?�"

Brian stopped, looking sheepish. "Okay, okay, I took them. But I was going to put them back! The squirrel�?� it didn't quite work."

"Did you at least leave them intact?" Laura asked, raising an eyebrow.

Brian hesitated. "Mostly?"

Herbert was attempting to fix the kitchen sink. Water sprayed everywhere.

"This is inadequate!" he yelled, throwing a wrench down. "I need a professional. Or maybe duct tape. Margot, where's the duct tape?"

Margot walked in, shaking her head. "Honestly, Herbert, you're making it worse."

Herbert grumbled. "Everyone always has a prejudice against my plumbing skills."

Laura overheard him. "It's not prejudice, Dad. It's experience."

Brian entered, holding Captain Hoppy. "Want me to try, Dad?"

Herbert raised an eyebrow. "And what makes you think you can fix it?"

"Well," Brian replied. "I have experience breaking things."

Margot laughed, handing Herbert the duct tape. "Maybe we should just order pizza."
