Sophie is a self-admitted hoarder.  She announced this morning that she is actively maintaining the following collections:

(1)   Locks
(2)   Keys
(3)   Buttons
(4)   Vanilla (Corolle) dolls
(5)   Stuffed animals
(6)   Calico critters
(7)   Silly bands
(8)   Silver dollars
(9)   Small dolls
(10) Erasers
(11) Littlest Pet Shops
(12) Snow globes

In summarizing her propensity to hoard, Sophie wisely pointed out that she “collects collections.” Kind of like a fund of funds in the hedge fund world. Which is very observant for a seven-year old, if you ask me.
