Sasha Obama Once Spent A Summer Vacation Serving Seafood

100% normalcy is hard to achieve if you're one of the most famous families in the world. However, former First Lady Michelle Obama tried her best to give her daughters, Malia and Sasha, a typical upbringing. "What's true for you all in your homes is the same for us," explained the "Becoming" author in a 2011 White House roundtable discussion later documented by Essence. "It's really the interaction that we have as a family that makes it feel like home," she added. "It's sitting down at the dinner table and having Barack's day be the last thing anyone really cares about." Malia was 10 and Sasha was 7 when they moved to Washington D.C. Sasha played basketball with Maisy Biden, Joe Biden's granddaughter, and the two became fast friends. 

What's more, the Obamas weren't too busy to oversee their kids' TV time . . . especially if that involved changing the channel when "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" came on. Parenting is kind of like running a country, sometimes it involves pressing the "off" button and sending everyone back to their rooms. "It takes a couple of times to be, like, 'That didn't sound like math to me,'" Michelle said during the roundtable discussion. "They can have limited access [to TV] on the weekends, and then I try to fill up their weekends with a lot of stuff like . . . sports and games." Michelle Obama also talked her daughters out of getting tattoos.
