First lady Michelle Obama slipped up during a local Vermont TV interview and accidentally called herself a ‘single mother.’

Quickly correcting her mistake and laughing off the big oops moment, she said, “Believe me, as a busy single mother– or, I shouldn’t say single, as a busy mother, sometimes, you know, when you’ve got a husband who is president, it can feel a little single. But he’s there.”

Michelle further explained “as a busy working mom, and before coming to the White House, I was in that position, you know, as well. Working, driving kids to practice, not having enough time to shop or cook, not having the energy, you know, the resources weren’t the issue but time and energy is key.”
