Don´t You Mean Sardonic?

Sarcasim is a languange not spoken here often in Nicaragua, but obvious questions are very frequent.  This will help to explain what happened when I carried my dirty clothes and laudry soap over to the lavandero one day, and my host niece asked if I was going to wash my clothes.  Slightly amused with what I thought was a silly question I told her no, that I just like carrying around my dirty clothes and soap arround.  Just por gusto.  She then said good because she had a lot of washing to do, and proceeded to wash for one hour while I waited for her to be done.  Serves me right, I suppose, for being a smarty pants.
