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.

First thing I thought, too.

That's some James Bond shite right there.

A fricking smart one. How a 6 year old is able to figure that out is pretty amazing.

Kid is smarter than 80% of the mouth breathing OT posters.

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

So? She had to navigate the net as well, and make purchases on her mothers credit card. The adults in Home Alone were impressed a 9 year old Kevin could do it, nevertheless a 6 year old. I'd say she's smarter than most of this board, and almost everyone in the Poliboard.

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