Michelle is First Lady of hugging
IT TURNS out that Michelle Obama’s penchant for hugging almost everyone she meets is not just about showing off her famously toned arms.
The First Lady admits that she gets just as much out of being tactile as those being hugged.
And the 45-year-old adds that she also does it to make others feel relaxed.
“I’d be intimidated, too, to meet the First Lady,” she explains to Woman and Home magazine. “That’s why I’m so touchy with kids, because I think if I touch them and I hug them, that they’ll see that it’s real and then relax and breathe.
“And actually I kind of enjoy the time and make use of it.”
