Verbal Irony (Sarcasm)

Hey Bloggers, 
Today we looked at different types of Irony, there are 3 types of Irony I choose Verbal irony. Verbal Irony is when you say something you don't mean (sarcasm) Have you ever seen or heard Verbal Irony? 
Anyway here is my piece - “What happens if your Mum decides that she wants to keep the twins?”

“She raised 4 kids, 2 were twins I don’t think she will want to raise any other kids.”

“What happens if she leaves the twins all on their own?”

“Oh no, you’re right she is going to leave them to head down to the pub at the edge of the road to have a few. Wait she’ll take the twins with her and give them some as well.”

“Arrrrrrgggg” *runs back to the house*

Till next time bloggers!
