Bearnadette’s doll
Little girls all over the world rejoice on Christmas Day when they tear off the wrapping paper to unveil the brand new doll waiting to be named, dressed up, and carried around on adventures – except if you’re six-year-old me, and your mom got you that realistic doll that pees itself and gets sick. However, this story is about another child whose dolly delight turned into disappointment.
Redditor Bearnadette recalled that when she was a kid, her classroom Secret Santa wrapped her gift in a beautiful ribbon and fabric, and she could tell that a doll was inside. Excited to meet her new friend, she untied the ribbon only to find a balding, naked Barbie. To add insult to injury, the Secret Santa requested all the wrapping materials back.
