First lady Michelle Obama says that in her years with the President she’s learned to choose her battles.
“What I’ve come to find is, you don’t sweat the small stuff,” she told Ellen DeGeneres in March. “The journey that we’ve taken together, the fun we’ve had, the challenges we’ve faced, the two beautiful children that we’re raising — I kind of give him a pass now when he leaves his socks on the floor or tells that story for the one hundredth time and wants us to laugh at it as if we first heard it.”
So sweet! Happy Anniversary to the first couple!
