(Mia whining in the back seat, lots of "ow ow ow".)
Craig asks, "Mia, what's going on?"
"I tripped on the field."
"Well, that happens a lot, you're gonna trip on the field."
"It hurts."
"Well, it's ok, it's good to trip now and then, ya get right back up."
(DRIPPING with sarcasm - I don't know that you can imagine enough of it as you read this.) "Oh, so it's GOOD that I fall. Your HAPPY that I trip and fall. That's a GOOD thing, huh? That I get hurt, that's GREAT."
Craig and I stifled hysterical laughter - but I think I let out a snort.
I think the sarcasm we use has rubbed off. And I think the sense of humor of our 6-year-old has surpassed a whole lot of our friends'.

Sarcasm 101 Lesson (copy/paste below):

Hi Aviva,
I have to admit my sarcasm post on my blog (see link above), was inspired by your anecdote here.
My previous "I Miss My Cat" post, however, came to me when I saw some kittens scampering around the bushes where I work. The building manager doesn't allow anyone to feed or approach them. Big penalty! They get trapped by animal control.
So, I guess that means 50% coincidence and 50% "I lacked original thought" the other day.
I got a few YouTube email requests to demonstrate samurai sword repair, so I finally got something original to sink my teeth in to. Yea!!!
