What ironic contrast does Vonnegut include in this

scene?

George tells his wife to forget sad things, but

readers would expect George and Hazel to

want to remember their son.

George is smarter than Hazel, but neither of

them can remember what they just watched

on television.

Readers would expect a sad ending to the

story, but instead it ends on a positive note.

Hazel says that everything is "mixed up in her

mind," but the reader knows that she is

actually much smarter than she thinks.
