Herbert sat in his recliner, remote in hand. "Margot, the TV seems to be having some kind of serial malfunction," he announced.

Margot, folding laundry, sighed. "What did you do, Herbert? Did you spill your donut crumbs into the vents again?"

"Of course not!" Herbert replied defensively, though a telltale smear of glaze was visible on his shirt. "I just tried to run a simple query. I wanted to know what time the donut shop closes."

Brian walked in, skateboarding under his arm. "Why don't you just look it up on your phone, Dad?" he asked, rolling his eyes.

"My phone is...absent," Herbert said vaguely. "Besides, the TV remote is the superior search device."

Margot walked over and inspected the television. "Herbert, this isn't a 'serial malfunction'; you've unplugged the HDMI cable."

Herbert looked sheepish. "Well, that's embarrassing. I guess I should deem myself technologically incompetent. This remote really suck, or maybe I do..."

Brian laughed, grabbed a donut from the kitchen counter, and headed outside. "I'm going to the skatepark!"

Margot shook her head and plugged the HDMI cable back in. "Honestly, Herbert, sometimes I wonder about you."
