Hi, I struggle a little with the use of the word 'irony' and was hoping someone could tell me whether I've used it correctly in the following sentence. I've done a google search but still unsure.
Connie smiled like the cat that got the cream. “Well aren’t you a sight for sore eyes,” she said, “I see Deandra has been taking good care of you.”
Chris gave Dee an enquiring look, but she just shook her head and rolled her eyes. Connie was old enough to be his mother, but then, so was Dee. She silently laughed at the irony of it, and opened the door.
Many thanks
LF
