The practical joke was a regular part of Michelle Obama’s White House era.
Former first lady, 61, has been literally revealed! A podcast with Rob Lowe, who was a prank during her time at the White House – “a little bit more often,” she admitted, and even shared that she even “ropes” one, including her wedding rings.
Michelle shared on her podcast that she has two “body people,” a personal aide who wipes out her and her husband, Barack Obama’s hotel rooms.
However, one of these aides decides to play pranks as a “young intern” by telling her that she “leaved” a wedding ring in the bathroom of the hotel where she was staying before the flight.
“We left the building. We were in a car,” recalls Michelle. “So the text says, “I know someone swept it. So if someone swept the room, you think you have it, right?”

“So everyone is in different cars in the car and (interns) were put in the convoy with someone she can’t ask questions. So she is basically left throughout the ride thinking she’s lost my engagement ring and she’s trying to text everyone in the meantime…” she explained.
The former first lady remembers that when staff members let her perform the prank, the room said “dead” and that she thought the intern was “sweaty.” Meanwhile, the staff gave her an unspoken message and said, “You have to tell the first lady about it.”
“So we’re on the plane, I go to my cabin and the only thing she knows is that you have to see the first lady.

“And that’s when we said, ‘It’s a prank. We have it.’ So we sweated for a drive to the airport.
Light carrying the author “after a while” she lowered her legs and said “we have to stop the pranks.”

“I shared with the younger staff, ‘I think we just need to stop, or at least we need to protect me, do you know?” “So it’s one thing to play pranks in the office, and another thing to involve the first American lady.”
Michelle’s brother Craig Robinson, 63, co-hosted an IMO podcast, and he joked that by his mother he was “a gross prank about as bad as 10” before joking that he was “still traumatized.”
