define Irony

I just came back from a walk with a few of my friends who could not stop as to what their toddlers were upto now a days one kid pulls down everything in sight and on wears his fathers id card and paints himself in ketchup and idli's,and one of my neighbor cant wait till his daughter starts to speak and walk  properly and another neighbor wants to go deaf (not because of his wife for once)
Is'nt it ironic
