Do you dread questions about soy milk in the daycare pickup line? Then the fake Twitter feed of Los Feliz Day Care is for you. L.A. comedian Jason Shapiro gathered parenting inspiration from his girlfriend (who is getting a PhD in education) and from eavesdropping around Los Feliz. And while he originally started this genius account as a way to prank his co-workers, the results are still pretty incredible: > [](https://twitter.com/LosFelizDayCare/status/527535626023739394) > [](https://twitter.com/LosFelizDayCare/status/527322376003137536) > [](https://twitter.com/LosFelizDayCare/status/527184442230464512) Shapiro doesn’t have kids, but says he would probably be a pretty hip dad. “I think that I would 100% fall into the category of dressing my kids of up in hip clothes and Beastie Boys T-shirts,” he says. “I think I would still try to make fun of it and make light of it, but this parody is really coming from a place of understanding.” What’s the most ridiculous parenting trope he’s lampooning? The anti-vaxxers, he says. Los Feliz’s twitter bio specifies that “\*\*we do not accept immunized children\*\*” and Shapiro says he thinks the trend against vaccination is ridiculous. “It has the potential to be dangerous for other kids,” he says. > [](https://twitter.com/LosFelizDayCare/status/526437964587749376) > [](https://twitter.com/LosFelizDayCare/status/523211005124300800) Shapiros says he wants his fake Twitter to be funny, but he also has an ulterior motive: to meet “comedy legend” Jon Cryer, but Barack Obama would also be cool. “If he thinks this is funny and wants to invite me to the White House, that would be awesome” “} –> ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3548149/los-feliz-day-care-fake-twitter-feed/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3548149/los-feliz-day-care-fake-twitter-feed/"},"headline":"This Twitter Feed of a Fake Overprotective Daycare Will Make Your Day","datePublished":"2014-10-30T16:49:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:14.300Z","description":"Especially if you're a parent","url":"https://time.com/3548149/los-feliz-day-care-fake-twitter-feed/","keywords":["Living","Parenting","Children","Barack Obama","Comedy","twitter","Prank","Humor"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3548149/los-feliz-day-care-fake-twitter-feed/","name":"This Twitter Feed of a Fake Overprotective Daycare Will Make Your Day"}}]}] ```
