IRONY:Amy was so excited about the Christmas dance that she couldnt concentrate on anything else. The whole week leading up to it, she drew doodles of herself wearing her dress and a sparkling tiara instead of taking notes. The night before the dance, she noticed that she was getting a small pimple on her nose. It was just a tiny little mark, but she imagined herself with a great big pimple, looking like Rudolph the Reindeer in all of the photos, and grew gravely concerned. She ran out to the store and bought a tube of every kind of pimple fighting cream available and then applied large globs of each of them to her nose. She went to bed satisfied that she had done all that she could to fight the blemish. When she woke up, she ran to mirror hoping that the pimple had vanished. As she gazed upon herself in the mirror, she screamed, not because the pimple had vanished, but because a bright red rash covered her entire nose.
