A Utah 6-year-old pulled a fast one on her parents by ordering $350 worth of toys on her mom’s Amazon Prime account.

Little Caitlin, who was supposed to order just a Barbie doll, was photograph­ed grinning mischievou­sly next to a stack of delivered boxes her height.

“My badass little cousin,” Ria Diyaoulu tweeted about the girl, who had to return all but the Barbie and can’t go online for a month.

A fortune cookie predicted a Washington state man’s lottery win.

“Buy a ticket. All your financial troubles will soon be solved,” the cookie’s message told the unidentifi­ed lucky guy.

Following its advice, he played the Hit 5 lottery and won a $125,000 jackpot, adding: “Who knew my day would be turned upside down by the message on a fortune cookie?” They’re hopping hungry. A mob of more than a dozen kangaroos were captured on video bouncing through city streets in Sydney, Australia, in an apparent hunt for food and water.

“Oh, my God, you’re kidding me — that is bizarre,” a woman can be heard in the background of a YouTube video at the scene.

What the flock! More than 600 birds were removed from an Ohio home following reports of animal neglect.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the birds — including parakeets, cockatiels, cockatoos, finches, and macaws — were living in highly overcrowde­d conditions in the Columbus home.
