Irony in motion
"What's up with
you?" I asked Roger.
"My daughter
graduated from high school with highest honors.
I know this because her picture was in the paper. Do you know who my wife took to the awards
dinner? My ex-$%#*&^-girlfriend! My
youngest daughter, the only one who'll even text me, says the two have a lot in
common. They both hate me. They both feel foolish for having been duped
by me. And, they like to plan their revenge together."
"Your wife isn't a
little angry, maybe jealous about the affair you had with this woman?"
Julie asked.
"Apparently
they've gotten past the jealousy part by constantly joking about my alleged
quirks and shortcomings. My ex-wife and
my ex-girlfriend have become best buddies.
How's that for bitter &^%$#@ irony!"
"Irony has to be
set in motion," I said. "You
lied to your girlfriend about being married while you stole from your kids and
your employer. I'd say you gave irony a
big push down a steep hill."
Roger stormed from the
group room.
Today I'll try not to do anything to set
irony in motion.
