Happy New Year
On the first year that I've seen midnight in what feels like ages, Sean has decided that it would be a good idea to be wide awake at 5:30 AM. Can you provide me with a better definition of irony?

Irony (n)-There are three distinct types:
1. situational--when what happens is the opposite of what is expected.
2. verbal--when one thing is said, but something else is meant.
3. dramatic--when the audience or reader knows something important that the characters in the story do not know.
I would say that your story falls into the first type; however, an argument could be made for the third, because I knew that that would happen, but you, the character in the story, did not!
(Hey--you asked! LOL)
:)
I stand corrected! There is, in fact, a better definition of irony out there!
