A 6-year-old Utah girl’s sneaky Barbie spending spree has become an internet sensation, and an unexpected windfall for Primary Children’s Hospital.
Catherine Lunt had ordered one Barbie for her daughter Katelyn, a reward for doing extra chores around the house. When she gave Katelyn permission to check on the order’s status on Amazon.com, Katelyn “went crazy” and ordered what she later called a “Barbie collection.”
Lunt didn’t notice until the next day when she was checking on a different order and saw a long list of Barbie dolls and accessories she didn’t order — like the Barbie Dolphin Magic Transforming Mermaid Doll, which comes with a water-squirting dolphin and costs $18.
