I may be changing my superhero name to IRONic MOM.
Irony is sorely misunderstood. Take poor Alanis Morissette. She devoted an entire song referring to events as ironic, which were all really just bad luck. Rain on your wedding day is a bummer. Not ironic.
So, for those of you who need a little refresher on irony … ta da. IRONic MOM to the rescue.
Irony is:
Posting on your blog your three small successes of motherhood (yesterday’s entry) while your 22-month old is right over your shoulder sweetly singing as he is emptying (decoratively, mind you) an entire bottle of syrup on the leather chest and carpet.
Now, after your try to quickly (which with syrup is impossible) clean up the mess then scramble to get everyone in the car to pick up the older kids and you pick up that same 22-month-old darling and he pukes on you, THAT is just plain bad luck.
Got it? Happy to be of service.

Ahhhhh! I think I understand. 😉 also, Syrup is evil.
But it sure made my sweet little boy that much sweeter. 🙂 Once I let him out his cage. (That, of course, is a joke. He broke the cage … )
