Paragraph analysis of Kiss and tell

The familar situation of an awkard moment between a child an their parents is at it's finest in the excerpt kiss aand tell. A premier topic being used in the excerpt is Irony. Irony is shown in a few situations like how you assume that the couple is argumentative and but in reality they are quite content with each other. Another moment is when you expect the father to try and take a look at the boyfriend but yet he seems disinterested in them and instead fixtrated on a lightbulb. A final thing I recognzied is when you expect the father to be more intresting considerring he jst embarrassed himself in front of a theatre crowd but yet appears quite nerdy and distant. We all deal with these unavoidable parental awkward moments and this is just a classic example.
