Herbert sighed, staring at the overflowing gutters. "Margot, this rental property is becoming a real headache."

Margot, ever the pragmatist, replied, "Well, the landlord should be handling the gutters. Have you called him again?"

"Three times!" Herbert groaned. "He says it's 'scheduled'. Honestly, I'm starting to think cleaning them myself might be worthwhile."

Margot raised an eyebrow. "You? Cleaning gutters? I'll believe it when I see it."

Herbert puffed out his chest. "I'm more competent than you think! I watched a video. I just need a ladder and�?� maybe a helmet."

Later, Herbert was on the ladder, precariously balancing with a bucket half-filled with soggy leaves and�?�something else.

"Ugh! What is all this gunk?" he exclaimed, holding up a handful of dark, clumpy mess.

Brian, observing from below, quipped, "Looks like you found a gallon of forgotten smoothie, Dad!"

Herbert grimaced. He pitched the gunk into the bucket, accidentally knocking loose a small avalanche of leaves and�?� well, more unidentified debris. Some of it landed in a heap on Brian's head.

"Hey!" Brian protested, brushing himself off. "Now I've got gutter ash in my hair!"

Margot emerged from the house, shaking her head and smiling. "Alright, alright, everyone inside. Herbert, let's leave the gutters to the professionals, shall we?"

Herbert, defeated but relieved, carefully descended the ladder. "Fine by me," he muttered. "I'm going for a donut."

Brian added, "Can I have one too, Dad? To compensate for the gutter ash?"
