In this example, the kind of irony which is used is <em>verbal irony</em>. In verbal irony, the speaker says one thing but means another. Verbal irony is used in a variety of circumstances. Clearly what the mother says is not what she really means, it is not likely to see a ten-year-old driving a car. Using this irony, she adds humor to what she says.

I think it's verbal irony because verbal irony implies something different from what a person actually says. This kind of irony  usually occurs in conversation.

What is one possible disadvantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?
ziro4ka [17]

The answers are: It does not allow listeners to interpret each character through his or her tone; and it does not allow listeners to review or reread what each character has said.

When hearing the characters voices out loud, and in the hypothetical case that it is a live audition and not a recording, one, as part of the audience, does not have, evidently, the possibility of reviewing or rereading what each character says. This may seem vane, but in reality, it can be very important when reading since sometimes the sense of what´s being read is so profound that, in order to capture in full, one needs to review a certain passage.

Also, hearing the characters has the disadvantage of making their voices concrete and specific according to whoever is speaking. This leaves out the possibility of filling the character´s voice with one´s own imagination, wit, and fantasy, which usually are very important characteristics of a fictional character (literature, in the end, is always a very subjective activity on the side of the reader).
