Isn't It Ironic?

Conversation on the way to church:

Emily: Hey, look, that's where we bought my viola yesterday (pointing to the Wal-mart parking lot. Yes, my husband bought a viola in a parking lot...what's wrong with that?!)

Gary: Yep, that right where we bought it.

Emily: Did you know that there is a country song about a Wal-mart parking lot?

Gary: No...I didn't know that.

Emily: I think it's ironic that you bought my viola in a Walmart parking lot and there is a song about a Wal-mart parking lot!

Me: (glancing over at an amused Gary) I think it's ironic that my 11 year old is using the word ironic.

Emily: What...why are you laughing?

Gary: It's just that....blah blah blah...wonderful vocabulary....blah blah blah....very intelligent...blah blah blah...well spoken...blah blah blah...for someone so young...

Emily: What?!

Me: Your dad and I didn't use the word ironic until we were in our forties.

Gary: Yeah, listen to your mom she always explains things so much better.

Emily: Oh, okay!
