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.”
It’s like raaa-aaaa-aaaiiiinnnnnn….
Well isn’t that a black fly in your Chardonnay.
Here’s a fun read if you have the time:

Ha! “C’mon… you were doing so well with the plane guy.”
But isn’t it ironic that her song about irony is not ironic afterall? (is this proper ironic useage?)
It was probably just bad luck….again!
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. 🙁
