#4 -- You know, if I had a Beanie Babies collection and my hypothetical grandchildren suddenly noticed them and started treating me better afterwards, I'd figure their thought process was "wow, Grandma has this collection of adorable Beanie Babies! She's not just a Random Old Person! She likes these cute things! She's a relatable human!" rather than "hey, Grandma has a legacy that's going to make us rich!"
