Why is it ironic in "the petrified man" when mrs. fletcher declares "well! i don't like children that much"?

A) She is about to have her own child.

Explanation:

"Petrified Man" is written by Eudora Alice Welty, an American novelist, and short-story writer. In Petrified Man, the main characters are Mrs. Fletcher and her beautician Leota. They both gossip about other people. Mrs. Fletcher soon becomes the talk of the town because of her baby belly. And she despises having children of her own. When Mrs. Fletcher declares "Well! I don't like children that much" it is ironical because Mrs. Fletcher is about to have child of her own.
