"Imagine having Malia and Sasha come to your house for a sleepover,” Michelle continued. “This is the call: 'OK, we're going to need your social security number, we're going to need your date of birth. There will be men coming to sweep your house. If you have guns and drugs, just tell them. Because they're going to find them anyway. Don't lie. They're not going to take them, they just need to know where they are.’”

As far as her parenting strategy with former president Barack, she said, “For eight years we were like, ‘Yup, your dad's president. That doesn't have anything to do with you. Take your butt to school. Yes, you have security, just ignore them, they're not here for you.'"
