Michelle Obama Mistakenly Calls Herself Single Mom

Oops! Michelle Obama calls herself 'single mother' (USA Today)

One little slip of the tongue and everybody notices.

First lady Michelle Obama accidentally described herself as a "busy single mother" during a television interview on Thursday before quickly correcting her mistake and laughing off the gaffe.

"You know, when you've got the husband who's president, it can feel a little single — but he's there," Obama told a CBS station based in Vermont.

She then described herself as a "busy working mom."

The first lady has long discussed the challenges of working parents.

"Before coming to the White House, I was in that position," she confessed. "Working, driving kids to practice, not having enough time to shop or cook, not having the energy."
