So this morning on the way to school, my son asks me,
"Mommy? What's 'irony?'"
Explaining slightly abstract concepts to five-year-olds can be challenging, to say the least. So I told him that it's when there's a really big and often funny difference between what you expect is going to happen and what actually does happen. Not the most accurate definition, but we've got time to build on the idea.
He thought about this for a while, and then asked, "Mommy, if you buy me a box of Lucky Charms, will there be a leprechaun inside?"
I said, "Yes. Yes, there will be."
