Situational Irony: Page 20
Charlie assumes Patrick and Sam are dating when in reality they're siblings.
" I looked at them, and they looked really happy together. A good kind of happy. And even though I thought Sam was very pretty and nice, and she was the first girl I ever wanted to ask on a date someday when I can drive, I did not mind that she had a boyfriend, especially if he was a good guy like Patrick."
"How long have you been 'going out'?" I asked. Then they started laughing. Really laughing hard.
"What's so funny?" I said.
"We're brother and sister," Patrick said still laughing"
