Christmas morning arrived at the little snow-covered cabin and Gage was given a gaily wrapped box. She tore the paper off the delightful box with glee. To her joy and amazement, there it was in every perfect detail: her very own "Mama's Baby" baby doll. She tenderly lifted the doll from the discarded Christmas wrappings and cradled it lovingly in her arms.
As the doll was moved it screeched in a piercing, mechanical voice: "MAMA!" Little Gage snatched her arms away from the doll, screaming in horror "MOM, IT BIT ME!", and threw the doll on the floor. Gage's mother Sharon Procter 30, of Homer, AK quickly assessed the situation and realized that Gage had not been able to tell from the catalog picture that the Baby doll could speak.
After "Mama's Baby" underwent a brief and painless surgery, doll and toddler were reunited and shared many fond childhood moments.
