Sarcasm

Dee loves to use sarcasm.  Using sarcasm is usually not nice, but it does take skills.  There are nuances in tone and inflection that take timing and good adjusment.  Dee does not always do well with these.  Yesterday, I told her:  "Brush your teeth, wash your face, and if you have an extra five minutes, maybe you can make me a sandwich for lunch.  I'd like ham and cheese."  She said, "Why do I have to make your lunch?  You have two hands."  Let's just say that did not go over well.  Later that evening, she asked me to make her some strawberry milk.  I said, "OK cause I love you."  Of course, if I were you, I'd say, "Why should I make you milk...you have two hands or two legs."
