Herbert sat on the couch, meticulously arranging his donut collection. "The validity of a good glazed donut is undisputed," he declared to Margot, who was attempting to read.

Margot sighed, barely glancing up from her book. "Herbert, must you? It�?Ts barely 9 a.m."

"But Margot, these are artisanal!" Herbert protested, holding up a particularly colorful specimen. "They might weaken my resolve to diet later."

Brian walked in, skateboard in hand. "Dad, are you seriously still on that 'diet' thing?"

Herbert ignored him. "Thereafter, I shall have only salad!" he proclaimed, taking a large bite of a chocolate frosted donut.

Later that afternoon, Brian was practicing kickflips in the driveway when Mr. Peterson, their neighbor, walked by.

"Afternoon, Brian," Mr. Peterson said with a wave. "Just thought I'd extend the courtesy of informing you that your skateboard went through Mrs. Higgins�?T prize-winning petunias."

Brian's face paled. "Oh, man. That�?Ts�?� not good."

Margot emerged from the house, carrying gardening gloves. "Brian! What have you done now?"

Brian gestured vaguely towards Mrs. Higgins' yard. "It was an accident! No one was a casualty, at least."

Margot placed her hands on her hips. "The petunias were a casualty, Brian. A very floral casualty."
