Michelle recalled the time that Sasha and Malia played hosts to their parents in their shared apartment and greeted them with cocktails before the foursome headed out to dinner one evening.

However, Michelle revealed that she and her husband got into trouble when they were handed their martini glasses. "They were like, 'Uh-uh-uh, use a coaster,'" she shared. "And I'm like, 'You never used a coaster in my house!"
