From baking his favorite cake to buying him another hamster, Cheryl had tried hard all day. She knew Joyce got that way when he was sick, but today was a little unusual even for him. "Is there anything at all I can do for you, sweetie?" she asked Joyce, trying to find a way out. "Yes," Joyce responded, giving hopes to his mother. "I want a baby elephant." Cheryl, finding herself exhausted, exclaimed in frustration, 
"You make me so happy I could cry!" The dialogue "You make me so happy I could cry" is ironic because
