Improper Use

Evan and Seth discovered air quotes.  

They use them all the time now.

Almost always incorrectly.

Mom, I want "strawberries" for snack.

Can we go to the "pool"?

I love "cookies".

I'm going to be the "oldest" person in my class.

Do I have to take a "nap"? I'm not really "tired".  

Considering they don't understand sarcasm the last one is especially ironic.
