It was a simple Barbie Doll. A Maraposa (butterfly) doll. Why would Santa promise a little 4 year old this simple gift and then not deliver. What is a parent to do. Yes. Plan ahead. Make sure your relative is purchasing the gift. Oh, strike one. I know, let us order it ourselves just to make sure it is here on time. Oh, Strike two. Back ordered. There is not going to be a strike three. No way am i going to let this promise of a simple Barbie Maraposa Doll going to take away a dream of a well behaved little girl. A princess that Santa promised this simple gift. Time to take charge. Amazon. Here is my money for the doll, and double the price so i get it in 24 hours. Hallelujah !The magical Santa Helper, Mr. Fed Ex. He arrives as to present himself on a majestic horse. Santa's reputation has been saved. Barbie is in the building.
Yes it was a simple gift. Yes it was not cheap. But it was priceless.
