Sacramento Moms Club?
I have never been a fan of the typical suburban moms I run into at my kids’ school. On one recent occasion, I was waiting for my daughter and the mother of another little girl was complaining…loudly…about the onset of her daughter’s menses. Did I want to know this? No. Would her daughter be mortified that everyone in the hall waiting for their kids heard the complaints? Probably.
So when a coworker of mine handed me a bookmark for the Sac Bee’s sacmomsclub.com, I told her I’d look at the website. And you can too, if that’s your thing. I went to the site, and well, yawn. But then I started thinking about Sacramento Moms…and who might be inducted into a real Sacramento ‘mom club.’ Here are a few nominations for well-known local moms…
There’s the mother who drank the water for the Wii contest and died.
There’s the mom who recently gave up her baby to Fire Station No. 4. (And there was another mom who did this recently, too–different Fire Station)
There’s the mother up the hill who (allegedly) drowned her baby in the bathtub.
I wish I had more examples of ‘upbeat’ moms.
Do you know of any notable moms in Sacramento?
Geez, Ursula. I hope you aren’t getting hit by the SAD–That’s just depressing if those are the only moms you can think of at the moment. Your post also made me think of Celebrity Jeopardy with Sean Connery. Category: Famous Mothers. "Victory is mine, Trebek!!!!"
Whenever I see that little blurb in the Bee, I ask myself, "What is the demo research they’ve done that makes them think a mom’s club is added value? And where’s the dad’s club, you sexist SOBs?"
Ha!
I bet we have some pretty high-ranking area moms. Does the First Lady count? Or no, since they’ve never really moved here.
But there’s lots of local mover-and-shaker moms who probably don’t have time to read the Bee anyway.
