Sarcasm

I know you aren't supposed to use sarcasm with kids and that it is a difficult concept for them to get and you really don't want them using sarcasm; however, it is somewhat amusing to converse with Noah with an occasional sarcastic remark. He is so literal!

N: dropping spoon on floor, dropping cereal bowl on counter
D: "Noah, do you think you could make a little more noise?"
N: pauses, turns head, looks confused "Did you say 'more'?"
D: "Yes" pause. explanation ensues
