For everyone who doesn't see the joke here, it's a reference to a well known and well disputed Alanis Morissette song. The one that embodies the 90s.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. - Mark Twain
She's right. Those are coincidences. Unfortunate coincidences, but not ironic. Irony is someone boasting they are the only healthy person in the room and dying of swine flu less than 24 hours later. Irony is avoiding smoking all your life to be killed by lung cancer anyway. Irony is someone inventing a novel new way to kill some one and being the first one to be put to death by it.
I hate to tell you, but your kids never grow out of this stage....ever. You have 25 or so years more of experience, but they'll always know more than their parents.
You make me laugh every single time!
Let me know if you ever wish to translate your work into spanish, I'd be delighted to do it "just for the sport of it" :)

I'm guessing you posted these nasty comments after a really bad morning or something, so I hope your day got better, Devin.

Oh there it is. Can't see the comic until you post something. How unexpected.

Ok, in this case, the little pink duck is right. Alanis completely misunderstood the definition of irony. How ironic.
