If you want to ensure that your daughter follows a path that starts at spoiled little shit and moves on to egomaniacal bitch who’s totally out of touch with reality, then a good starting point would be getting her this bed which resembles Cinderella’s coach and happens to cost as much as a luxury car. It’ll come in handy later when she uses it to mow down anyone who stands in her way or accuses her of having ever ripped a fart that didn’t delight the senses and turn the air into solid gold.
