I want a Girl Grinch Doll

I want a grinch doll the little girl said.
“Like this?” her mother asked, showing her a grown up grinch.
“No! I want a baby grinch.”
Her mother did some research and found one.
“Like this?”

The child began to scream.
“I do not want a boy baby grinch, I want a baby girl grinch!”
Luckily, this company also sold a pinked up grinch.
“Yes!” the child agreed “Yes, yes, yes!”
It is not that expensive her daddy said.
Should we get her something else also?

The mother was at a loss for words.
She had already spent way too much on this child.
But since she had hidden the other presents
She nodded, and he ordered her something extra.
Afterall, little girls are their daddy’s pride and joy.
