## Transcript

From the South side of Chicago, welcome Michelle Obama. [ MUSIC ] From the first page of this book until the last, you did it. You brought it, you opened yourself up, you allowed us to see in And let us experience the fullness of you in a way that I don't think anybody has ever done before, particularly who's been in the White House. One of the first things we did because we were trying to figure out how do you make this normal for children. Because Malia and Sasha were. Seven in ten. Thank you for that. [ LAUGH ] You know I want to hear the end of that. She's like, mom didn't even know how old we were.

[ LAUGH ] They were young and we were figuring how do we keep them grounded? And the first thing we though is like, they cannot When we're having pancakes in the morning it's just crazy to have a man with the tuxedo coming. When you got some little girls at a sleepover and you bringing in some water so we cancelled the tuxedos. It's like yo take those tuxedos off wear some polo shirts and some slacks Unless we did something formal, we just sort of loosened it up a bit. And people ask do I miss the White House and it's like, no I don't miss the house because we took what was important in that house with us and it is with us, it's family, it's values.

Wow. The friendship. so the house is beautiful, and it's historic, and it was an honor to live there, but the people in it makes it what it is.
