What is the best explanation of the situational irony in
this passage?
Both the aunt and the children were conversational in a
limited, persistent way, reminding one of the attentions
of a housefly that refuses to be discouraged. Most of the
aunt's remarks seemed to begin with “Don't," and nearly
all of the children's remarks began with "Why?" The
bachelor said nothing out loud.
- "The Storyteller,"
The children are quiet on the train instead of loud.
The aunt is pleasant and funny instead of strict.
The bachelor remains silent when he is expected to
respond.
Saki
The aunt expects obedience from the children, but
does not get it.

The aunt and the children were trying their best to remain in their position as far the situation persists. Since the entry of a housefly in the scene made the situation rather dramatic. The children seems to be quite aggressive in pestering with the housefly. However, the aunt wants to keep herself cool. She continues to persuade the children in her own way of not to distrub that poor creature in any way.
