WESTSIDE MOM DELAYS SPA VACATION FOR KIDS ACTIVITY
Santa Monica, CA
Reports are surfacing that a mother known to reside on the west side of Los Angeles has delayed, and some say even cancelled, a trip to a luxury spa because the dates overlapped with the first days of school for her toddler child. Westside mothers throughout the region are aghast at the rumours, claming that--if true--this alleged breach of Westside cultural norms could lead to a flood of expectation setting for other stay-at-home moms throughout the area. "It starts with putting kids needs ahead of personal time, sure--that's all fine and good," said Ellen Kantroy, a noted Westside mom/coffee drinker/pilates afficionado, "but pretty soon it could degenerate into putting our own kids to sleep, spending within our means, or even--God Forbid-- limiting handbag purchases. Frankly, we don't like it and we're not going to stand for it."

Already there appears to be a groundswell of support for the protesters who have decided to go on strike until the alleged mother is apprehended and forced to apologize. Given that none of the moms actually do anything during the day, as their kids are mostly in school or at activities or with nannies, the strike is expected to focus on replacing the primary daily activities of "girls coffees" and supervised exercise sessions with "girls teas" and supervised exercise sessions.
