the brat

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Joey, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

Joey clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?

He replied, 'It was an "ID ten T" error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Joey grinned. 'Haven't you ever heard of an "ID ten T" error before?''

No,' I replied.

'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'
So I wrote it down: I D 1 0 T

I used to like the little brat.
