On Take Your Kids to Work Day yesterday, Michelle Obama took questions from 170 children, ages 7 to 14. She later called the grilling her "first official press conference."
"They asked me a ton of questions," the first lady said, "and they were hard." So what did these intrepid, young reporters find out for us?
On her dream White House job: First lady. "I think I have the best job in the White House. I don't have to deal with the hard problems every day," she said. "Because I don't get paid, I get to do whatever I want."
The worst part of the White House: Running on the treadmill every morning.
On breaking the rules: "Every now and then I have this thing that I like to do with some of my staff members," she admitted, "we sneak out, without telling anybody, and we go and test out all the fun places to eat in DC. I went to Five Guys [the burger chain] and nobody knew it." An aid later amended that this didn't mean she went without the Secret Service. Too bad!
To see what else Michelle had to say, read more.
On new dog Bo: He "likes to chew on people's feet and cause commotions. Oh, he is a crazy dog."
On no longer cooking: "I don't miss cooking," she said, "I'm just fine with other people cooking. Their food is really good."
What she'd do in the event of a major disaster: "I'd wake my husband up if it were at night. And I'd tell him, hey, buddy, you're the president, get down to the Oval Office and call some leaders."
Well, good to know!

LOVE FIVE GUYS!!!!!!! and love her that she's been there, it's a DC institution!!!!
1mama, you mean Virginia institution!
2Hey kids, I'm a role model, and I am telling you it's really fun to sneak out of the house and not tell anybody where you are going. Of course I would never do it unless it was for a really good reason, like going to a fast food burger joint where I can treat my staff members to a delicious meal of sodium and fat, totally ignoring the obesity epidemic. I'm so cool.
3I really like her, and I like how she is pretty funny as well.
and it's funny how out of some pretty nice eateries in DC she chose Five Guys. I love it.
4Wow Janneth, stuck up..much? Is she not allowed to eat a frikken burger because she's the first lady?
5Methinks Janneth is bitter because she hasn't had a burger in a long time...
6Oops, had one for dinner (in a restaurant, with fries) last night. I did sound pretty curmudgeonly, didn't I? And it's Friday afternoon, too! So I have no excuse...
7LOVE FIVE GUYS..think i'll go there today hahahaha!
