You have just plopped down on your comfy couch with a hot bowl of buttered popcorn, the T.V. controller in your hand and your cuddly spouse holding the other when you get a call.  You pick up the phone (at the same time thinking you probably shouldn't have) and on the other end is a best friend who is seriously lobbying for baby-sitting services.

Paradox: a statement or idea that seems contradictory, unbelievable, or absurd - but that may be true in fact. (Webster's College Dictionary)
