Not Quite Grasping the Concept

Today we had the pleasure of explaining the concept of 'April Fools Day' to Ally, and less than a minute later she was excitedly chiming, 'Guess what Dad! I just read a book without pictures all by myself!' I proffered the usual sounds of amazement and awe. She then paused dramatically before laughing out, 'April Fools!'

A minute later she came over to the kitchen sink, looked it over, and then excitedly said, 'Daddy, I want to do the dishes!'
I gave her a sidelong glance, waiting for the 'April Fools!!!'

I was still waiting after we finished cleaning up the dishes together.

I guess there's still hope for at least her.....
