Though not caught on camera, it was clear Michelle'sresponse perplexed the girl, causing her to make a confused expression.
"What's that look?" sheasked. The amateur interviewer responded with a comment that put a smile onMichelle's face, but was inaudible to the audience so she asked the youngsterto repeat herself. "You're too young for 51," repeated the girl afterbeing handed a microphone.
Looking youthful in a floral printed dress, theflattered mom of two thanked the girl and even invited her onstage for a hug.

The special event was held for children of Executive Office employees, local young peoplefrom the Boys and Girls Club and D.C. Child and Family Services.
This adorable moment comes shortlyafter a father submitted a letter to The Weekly Standard that was penned by his8-year-old son to the First Lady. The young manhad heard a rumor that Michelle was trying to limit his ketchup intake and usedhis First Amendment Right to publicly discuss his distaste over the matter.

"I think you should rethinkyour idea that takes us to one ketchup packet per meal," Peter writes."I feel that it is taking away our patriotism toward America." And itwasn't just ketchup he was upset about. He said he doesn't particularly enjoy the President'sspeeches and was "disappointed" Obama did not bomb Syria.
In fact,the father revealed it took his kid six months to compose because he was"too angry" to write the letter in one sitting. Despite his rage, the little boydid take the time to be less political and more polite by asking if the WhiteHouse is a comfortable place to live.
