A Savvy 6-Year-Old Girl Ordered Herself $350 Worth Of Toys On Her Mom's Amazon Account

Yahoo- Like their first smile, their first steps, their first laugh — a child’s first scam is something a parent will cherish forever. In most cases, a kid’s first scam is entirely amateur, albeit adorable, like stealing cookies from the cookie jar, secretly staying up late to watch a scary movie, or maybe even hiding something they broke and feigning innocence when asked where it went. Six-year-old Caitlin, though? She’s a pro already, and it’s almost intimidating. If she’s pulling off scams at this level, it’s only a matter of time before they’re basing an Ocean’s 8 sequel on one of her jobs. For her birthday, Caitlin was allowed to order a Barbie doll using her mother’s Amazon account. Under supervision, she did just that. However, later, she asked her mom if she could return to the website to track her package. This is when Caitlin presumably discovered the joys of the “add to cart” button and “one-day delivery” option. The next day, boxes upon boxes arrived outside Caitlin’s home in Utah.

Caitlin’s older cousin Ria Diyaolu told BuzzFeed, “Her mom went on her Amazon account and saw three pages of things she had ordered.” Caitlin, on a shopping spree that would make any kindergartner green with envy, purchased $350 worth of toys, video games, and board games.

I’m not one to agree with the folks who say, “Kids have it sooooooooooooooo easy these days” cause that’s not true. Every generation has it’s own set challenges that it has to take on. Just because kids nowadays have technology doesn’t mean it’s easier now. It’s just different. That’s all. New technology just means different problems to deal with.

With that said, kids have it soooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy these days. It’s a fucking disgrace. These kids suck. This story is a perfect example. Kids these days will never know how hard it was to get your parents to buy you one (1) toy back in the day let alone $350 worth. Our parents made us actually do things for it. Can you believe that? It’s true. Mow the lawn. Clean your room. Do the dishes. Wash the windows. Stop punching your brother. Then and only then after we completed some sort of Herculean task would getting a toy even become an option. It was never a guarantee. What do kids do these days for a toy? They go onto their mom or dad’s Amazon Prime account, order every toy they could ever want, select one-day shipping and they are now the proud owner of every toy they could ever want. No crying. No temper tantrum. Just click and boom. Sure the parents could send the toys back but they won’t. Too much of a hassle. Spoiled ass kids.
