Lauren (washing dishes by hand and staring meditatively at the suds): “You know what’s ironic?”

Lloyd: “Are you sure it’s ironic? Because people misuse that word all the time.”

Lauren (deflatedly): “….. it’s not ironic.”

  But isn’t it ironic that her song about irony is not ironic afterall? (is this proper ironic useage?)

I still want to know what you thought was ironic.

  I thought it was ironic is how often I’ve done dishes by hand since we’ve bought the new dishwasher. It holds so much by the time we have enough for a full load it’s stinky. That’s not ironic.
  
  It might be ironic that I found out I like doing by dishes by hand, but discovered it after we spent money on a new one?

I dont think it really matters whether what you were thinking was, in fact, ironic. What matters is that your flower is all wilted. 🙁
