Catherine Lunt, a mom from Pleasant View, Utah, was greeted with almost $400 worth of toys on her doorstep one Saturday afternoon.
Unbeknownst to Catherine, six-year-old daughter Katelyn had secretly used her mother's Amazon account to order dozens of Barbies, games, and toys.
Catherine told reporters she had ordered a "job-well-done" Barbie doll for her daughter after Katelyn completed a day's worth of chores. Little did she know, that day would prove to be a lesson to never leave her daughter alone with access to an open Amazon account...
