Washington, April 29 (ANI): US First Lady Michelle Obama has revealed some of her favourite things recently.
Michelle took some questions from approximately 200 children of White House employees at a Take Your Son and Daughter to Work Day event in the East Room.
During a 40-minute question and answer session, she fielded questions on what she likes to do in her spare time, what it’s like to live in the White House and what she misses the most while living in the bubble.
When she was asked about her favourite book, Michelle said the first book she ‘loved and read cover to cover’ was “Song of Solomon.”
“It like grabbed me and pulled me in,” she added.
Asked which celebrity she’d most like to meet, the first lady said she’s “already met some cool famous people,” including Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey (whom she called “amazing cool”) and just this week, Willow Smith (”very cool”).
The first lady’s favourite colour? Lavender. And favourite sport? Tennis.
Michelle also took a question about how she chooses what to wear each day.
“It really depends on the day,” she said, adding that she wore a colourful floral dress because she had a luncheon to attend.
“It’s pretty, and I felt like being pretty today,” she added. (ANI)
