New Definition of Irony

in | | Comments (3)

My older son, A-, has provided me with a new definition of irony.

Last night, he and some buddies decided to head up to Camden Yards to watch the Baltimore Orioles take on the New York Yankees. A big motivator was that last night was "Wendy's Night" at the ball park. Anyone with a receipt from Wendy's got in for free.

Or so he thought.

Turns out there was only a limited number of Wendy's tickets and by the time he got to the stadium, they were all gone. So he had to pay for his ticket. And once he got to his seat, it began to rain. After sitting there for two hours, the umps called the game. The game got rained out. He went to Camden Yards thinking he'd get to watch the O's play the Yankees for free only to end up paying for a ticket to a game that got rained out.

God has such a sense of humor.

Sounds like irony to me. When do you get to the beach?

Our usual week in Rehoboth was disrupted this year because D- will be at the National Boy Scout Jamboree when we would have otherwise been loafing seaside. So this year we won't get down there till the second week of August.
