Woman Can't Tell If It's Ironic or Just a Coincidence


GRAND FORKS, N.D.--A 23-year-old Grand Forks woman is unable to distinguish between irony and coincidence, it was reported Monday.

Kelly Stewart, whose birthday is July 16th, was surprised to learn of the birth of her best friend's daughter last Friday morning, also July 16th. "The phone rang and I answered it and I was like, 'Oh my gosh!'" said Stewart. "I was like, 'My birthday and my best friend's daughter's birthday are the same day! How ironic!'"

It wasn't until three days later that Stewart began to have doubts.

"But then on Monday, I started thinking maybe it's just a coincidence," Stewart said. "I can't tell. That Alanis Morissette song has really confused the meaning for me."
