When President Barack Obama gives a speech, he has just one request for his daughters Sasha and Malia: Don’t look bored.
“That was the instruction before he gave his speech at the DNC,” First Lady Michelle Obama told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night’s show.
“We’re backstage and they’re playing around and they’re laughing and they’re giggling and he said, ‘Just act like you’re listening to me!’”
DOES MICHELLE PREFER THE PRESIDENT IN BOXERS OR BRIEFS? 'NONE OF THE ABOVE,' SHE SAYS!
MICHELLE CASTS ABSENTEE BALLOT, URGES SUPPORTERS TO VOTE EARLY
Even under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, keeping two adolescent girls in line is no easy task, Michelle admitted.
“The whole time, I’m clapping and looking over at them and I’m like, ‘Smile. Smile.’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, OK.’”
Prodded about disciplining her kids in public, the commander-in-chief’s wife said she does it the same way any other mother would, but, “you have to smile a little bit more when you’re the First Lady.
“But generally, they behave themselves really well.”
Kimmel teased Michelle about her persistent push for kids to eat healthy, asking if she was going to “force vegetables” down the throats of trick-or-treaters this Halloween.
“No,” she said, laughing. “There are times of the year when candy is good.”
Less than two weeks before Election Day, Michelle urged the public to vote early — an option in 34 states and Washington, D.C.
“You don’t know what’s going to happen on Election Day,” she explained. “Babysitters, you might be sick, car breaks down.”
She encouraged people to spend Nov. 6 helping others to hit the polls.
Michelle denied she would be even slightly relieved if her husband lost the presidential race.
“You know, even when Barack talked about entering politics, I was very hesitant,” she said. “But then I thought about the kind of person that I would want to lead the country, and I felt that to deny him that right would be selfish. So we’re in it.”
