Ha. That's funny. Our daughter has no concept of the value of money. Our son was selling her a couple of nice shiny dimes for her birthday money from the grandparents. I felt like Lisa when she was explains to Homer how money works, "$20 can buy many, many dimes, dear".
Anyway, we explained to my son that he shouldn't do this to family members.
