You know, I reckon that Michelle Obama is a real star, and so nice with it too - not at all stuck up. We sat in the kitchen and had a super chat over a cup of tea and an eccles cake! Daddy always reckoned that there was nothing in the whole wide world that you couldn't sort out if you just sat down and had a chat over a nice cuppa. It's what made the Empire what it was, he reckoned.
Anyway, I thought I had a lot to put up with what with the Glam Sam thing to live up to, but this poor girly knocks me into a cocked hat. I mean 'Mobama' - what sort of a handle is that? Apparently the people in the White House hung it on her because it sounds all ghetto and street cred, for Gawd's sake. Poor girl.
I'm suprised that she let them get away with it frankly 'cos let's face it she's a big girl, well over six foot and I certainly wouldn't want to get into an argument with her. And she still manages to look stylish in that typically America groomed to the hilt sort of way they have. Between you and me, apparently old Barrack's right under the thumb back home once the doors are closed. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their bedroom!
So there we were sat in the kitchen doing the 'look nice for the cameras' bit that we all have to go through and then the next day I see the pictures in the papers. I mean, what do you think they found to talk about? Could it be two intelligent, well educated and powerful women talking about serious world issues? Like buggery it could! I mean it really makes me fume! They only got a wide angle shot, spread it across the centre pages and captioned all the items in the background like what sort of microwave I use, the cook books I read and the make of the telly! Talk about sexual stereotyping! I bet they wouldn't do that if the boys were sat there.
To be honest, I took it out on Dave a bit but he just smiled and laughed it all away. Lucky for him I didn't have a cup of tea in my hand at the time is all I can say or he might have ended up wearing it. Still, some good has come out of it - the sales in Mummy's online kitchen accessories business have gone through the roof thanks to those marvellous new guidelines on product placement, so maybe the gutter press did us all a favour in the end.
Once we got the cameras out of the way and had some time to ourselves, Mo and I found we agreed on quite a few things as it happened, and comparing notes on the boys was very illuminating! All I can say is that it's a good job they've got us behind them or God knows what state the world would be in.
Let's do lunch next week and I'll tell you more...
