This is Why Some Animals Eat Their Young

I get emails all the time with jokes and the inevitable, "Pass this on to ten people immediately or your dog will get warts" or some equally stupid message. I don't expect you to pass this on (unless you just can't help yourself), just enjoy a giggle.

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

Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him and asked, "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."

Richard 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 down, ID10T.

I used to like the little guy.

That kid has a great future in IT support. He's already got the attitude down, just needs to keep building his skills.

How funny thanks for sharing I really needed the laugh-it is wonderful how children have the ability to fix computer problem's for us.

Hi Pamela, Cute joke - we've all been there. Maybe I'm just perverse, but when I'm threatened in an email unless I pass it on, I usually delete it. If I can't resist sharing, I will block and copy rather than forwarding, because occasionaly there are scary things that track who these things get forwarded to. I don't want to get spam sent to my friends.

That is so cute thanks for sharing with us. I know i have been a ID10T, when it comes to the computer.

Pamela, My good friend was in the compter business for years. He once told me that an "Ignoramus is someone who doesn't know what you learned yesterday". We are all ingorant of many things. I welcome opportunities to learn something new everyday. Life is an adventure.

I'm OK on the computer, but every once in a while......ID10T

(brush off the person sitting in the chair) "MOVE!" ;P

I agree, Brett. IT guys seem to think the attitude is a prerequisite.

Hi Pat - My 5-year-old granddaughter is an example of children who amaze us with their computer knowledge. It's a great thing!

Hi Suan - I agree with you. I get so much email, I find myself deleting forwarded jokes just because I'm afraid of opening an attachment - you never know where they've been! ;D

Hi Valorie - Who among us hasn't been guilty of being an ID10T? I say let them throw the first stone. ;D

Hi Ray - Thank you for your positive post. Your quote is like to insanity quote, "What is insanity? It's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."

Hi Bobbi - And who isn't an ID10T once in awhile. Thank goodness we have each other to watch our backs.

Hi Heather - Yep, Saturday Night Live. I love that skit since it hits so close to the truth.

Pamela,

That was a deep belly laugh! I was getting all ready to learn something! Needed that Tuesday laugh!

I think others will too!

Featured in Cosmic Cow Pie.

Cute - even if I heard it before! Kids - are so savy these days. Just imagine where the little buggers will be in 20 years - whoa!

I think I've had that same problem myself! Too many times!!!! ; )

Hi Carra - You should know me better than that by now. I love to learn new things but laughing is always more fun.

Hi Anna - My little grandkids astound me with their computer knowledge. Just when I think I'm going to teach them something, they show me up! Gotta love it!

Hi Douglas - I've been know to have a moment of ID10T myself now and again.

Hi Pamela,

Thats a great story although I bet you felt like giving the little guy a clip round the ear!! LOL

Steve

Hi Steve - I think I'm too impressed with what our kids and grandkids are learning to be upset. Thanks for responding to my post.

Oh Pamela, thanks for the laugh OMG, did ya spank the little geek!

Hi Ana - No spanking. Aren't you happy to hear that such little geniuses exist?

Steve Jobs in the making . . .

Hi Carla - Okay, I'll admit it. I had to Google Steve Jobs. May the eleven year-old was right - ID10T!

Hi Pamela, couldn't function without them, my daughter is my assistant webmaster when I can't take it anymore!

Can't help but love and appreciate someone who can take care of a situation that's beyond us.
