First Lady Michelle Obama on Raising Healthy Kids

April 24, 2012

Today I typed a rather unusual Facebook post: “Prepping for my big interview with the FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES. What to wear? What to ask? So excited!”

Within seconds, I scored my first “like,” then the comments started to roll in from friends and colleagues. They suggested questions (“What's a mother's greatest challenge?”), made requests (“Post pics!”), and shared the kind of truncated messages typical of the social media era (“!!!”). I can't lie; I'm nervous. I've done a few celebrity interviews, but this has me trembling like an empty Starbucks cup on a subway platform.
