During a televised interview, First Lady Michelle Obama accidentally referred to herself as a “single mother.”
“Believe me, as a busy single mother—or, I shouldn’t say single! As a busy mother… sometimes, you know, when you’ve got a husband who’s president, it can feel a little single, but he’s there,” she told CBS affiliate WCAX in Vermont.
She corrected herself soon after and completed her comment.
“But as a busy working mom, and before coming to the White House, I was in that position, you know, as well. Working, driving kids to practice, not having enough time to shop or cook, not having the energy, you know, the resources weren’t the issue but time and energy is key,” Obama said.
On Thursday, Obama joined a group of school children in the White House kitchen garden, planting vegetables. The first lady has made combating childhood obesity a priority.
