When Arkansas mom Bethany Howell discovered her daughter Ashlynd had used her thumbprint to buy Pokémon toys on Amazon Prime — while she was sleeping — she was understandably shocked. Especially once she saw the price tag: According to Baby Center, the 6-year-old racked up quite the bill, spending a whopping $250 when all was said and done.

It all started one busy Monday night earlier this month. Bethany tells Babble that she could barely keep her eyes open, but Ashlynd was wide awake. (We’ve all been there.) So Bethany started a movie to calm her down. Instead, after about five minutes, Bethany fell fast asleep. That’s just about when the little one used her mom’s thumb to unlock her phone and purchase 13 Pokémon toys — from plush characters to figurines to trading cards — to be delivered right to their door.

I'd hire her if she wants a job in about 15 years. Critical thinking skills --- CHECK.

I'm guessing mom gave in to crying kid, bought stuff and fabricated story to cover when husband became angry.

The mom is a fricking idiot. She received a confirmation email after the purchase.

My nephew did the same thing, but my sister isn't a dumbass and was able to cancel the order shortly after.
