Ironic

Ironic: characterized by often poignant difference or incongruity between what is expected and what actually is.

My mentee just e-mailed me to remind me to come to the meeting with his study group today. This is the mentee who didn't answer my first email, failed to show up at our first appointment, showed up at our second appt. only to say he couldn't stay, and then took 3 weeks to answer my next email to make this appointment. Hmm.

or an old man who turned 98...he won the lottery and died the next day!

(but as we know it passed on through to his heirs by intestacy because he didn't have time to rewrite a will encompassing the new money...unless he left "all to my beloved Tai King Juan")
