Read the following excerpt from the selection "Freedom in the Annex" from Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex, and answer the question that follows:

"Five-thirty: Bep's arrival signals the beginning of our nightly freedom. Things get going right away. I go upstairs with Bep, who usually has her dessert before the rest of us. The moment she sits down, Mrs. van D. begins stating her wishes. Her list usually starts with “Oh, by the way, Bep, something else I’d like . . .” Bep winks at me. Mrs. van D. doesn’t miss a chance to make her wishes known to whoever comes upstairs. It must be one of the reasons none of them likes to go up there."

How might the title of the selection be seen as ironic?
