Has arrived.

Define Irony

Alanis Morrisette tried (unsucessfully, I might add).

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

Whatever. Really I would argue that nothing in her song is ironic.

Have you ever had to define irony for you kids? Sarcasm they get. But irony? So when I read this article on the first day of our Spring Break staycation, I knew I had found the perfect, personal example.
