This is great

Today marks our first recorded incidence of Jordan being ironic.

Scene: the parking garage


Me: "Aaah, shoot! Jordan, I forgot something. I'll be back in two minutes, okay? I'll run."
Him: "Okay"

Upon my return


Him: "Well, that was fast."
Me: "Was it?"
Him: "I mean, like, it wasn't."

Isn't that supposed to be a teen years thing?

As an aside, I double-checked my trusty aide Merriam Webster since I was trying to figure out whether his statement should be called sarcastic, or facetious, and discovered it's neither. For an enlightening comparison of these words and others similar (ironic, satiric, sardonic), follow this link.
