At some point, I think you're going to have to explain that she's not really going to get 100 dolls, lol. It sounds to me like she's expecting some dolls in the very near future. But, that was a great way to introduce college to her and I'd very much be interested to know how many dolls will actually pay for college so I can tell my niece about it some day. As for me, I don't have kids, but I do spend time talking to kids at work about finance. I work at a credit union and parents will bring their kids in and have us explain how accounts work and so forth. Most of the time I think they understand it. Sometimes I think they just don't want to part with their money. But, starting young is definitely the way to go! This is an interesting post, and an interesting dilemma.
